The American Heart Association is dedicated to reducing the impact of heart disease and stroke, the No. 1 and No. 4 killers of Americans. The association does this through many avenues, including our Go Red for Women movement, advocacy efforts, Heart Walks, CPR, research, combating childhood obesity, just to name a few.
Volunteers are the foundation of the Heart Association. The organization was founded by volunteers, and today it is the largest volunteer organization fighting heart disease.
