I just celebrated my 9th anniversary working for the American Heart Association.
Nationwide, our teams work non-stop to help prevent, treat and cure the causes of heart disease, heart attack and stroke. Not just that, we educate and promote healthy living in every community.
Since the American Heart Association’s founding in 1924, deaths from cardiovascular diseases have been cut in half. And yet, there are still so many lives to be saved. By driving breakthroughs in science, policy and care, together we can continue to advance health and transform lives every day.
19 Million+ High blood pressure patients helped
Our high blood pressure quality care initiative ensures lifesaving care for people at risk for heart disease.
$5 Billion+ Invested in pioneering research leading to lifesaving breakthroughs
We've funded more heart, brain and cardiovascular research than any non-profit U.S. organization except the federal government.
22 Million People trained in CPR every year
9 out of 10 people who have a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital die. If performed immediately, CPR can double or triple a person's chances of survival.
Building on over 100 years of trusted leadership in cardiovascular and brain health, by 2028 the American Heart Association will drive breakthroughs and implement proven solutions in science, policy and care for healthier people and communities. The greatest discoveries in health must reach people where they are.
Help us be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. Donate today.
