About American Heart Association
Who We Are
The American Heart Association is the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. Founded in 1924, our organization now includes more than 30 million volunteers and supporters. We fund innovative research, fight for stronger public health policies, and provide critical tools and information to save and improve lives. Our nationwide organization includes more than 150 local offices and nearly 3,400 employees.
What We Do
To improve the lives of all everyone, we provide public health education and solutions in a variety of ways.
LIFESTYLE: We help people understand the importance of healthy lifestyle choices.
GUIDELINES: We provide science-based treatment guidelines to healthcare professionals to help them provide quality care to their patients.
QUALITY: We guide and support quality improvement initiatives in hospitals and practices, facilitating these optimal levels of care.
CPR: We’re the nation’s leader in CPR education and training.
We educate lawmakers, policymakers and the public as we advocate for changes to protect and improve the health of our communities.
RESEARCH: Our volunteer experts select the scientific research and researchers most worthy of funding — with great results.
We have invested (Multiple) $4.5 billion in cardiovascular research, more than any organization outside the federal government. We have funded 14 Nobel Prize winners and many lifesaving research advances such as the first artificial heart valve, cholesterol-lowering drugs, heart transplantation, and CPR techniques and guidelines.
Why We’re Needed
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in the world. Stroke ranks second globally and is a leading cause of severe disability. Too many families are losing loved ones of all ages. Each year, these diseases kill more than 800,000 Americans. Some form of cardiovascular disease affects more than one in every three adult Americans. Many suffer terribly from disabilities caused by these diseases.
The American Heart Association wants everyone to understand the threat — and to know that cardiovascular diseases and stroke are largely preventable. Risks can be lowered by adhering to what we call Life’s Simple 7: not smoking, being physically active, maintaining a healthy body weight, eating a healthy diet, controlling blood pressure, controlling cholesterol and controlling blood sugar.
Our 2020 Goal
Our 2020 Impact Goal is to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent, while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent, all by the year 2020.Why We Love Working for the AHA
