We are advocates of good health and promoters of positive behaviors, nutritious eating habits and healthy lifestyles. We also fund cutting-edge research and professional education programs. We promise to have an extraordinary impact on your life by empowering you and your loved ones to save lives, live healthier and enjoy more peace of mind about cardiovascular health.

Each year, hundreds of people volunteer in their local area to advance the association's mission. They support research, educate friends and neighbors about prevention, help heart and stroke patients, and advocate for better health. These efforts are making a difference for present and future generations. and saving lives.
