Uniting to change the future of health.

Every day, Americans’ lives are touched by heart disease and stroke. Whether it’s our own health that is impacted or the lives of family members, friends, or co-workers, there is a lot at stake when it comes to fighting our nation’s No. 1 and No. 5 killers. But we all have the power to make a difference.

• We speak up for what’s right, to impact the change we want to see for ourselves and our loved ones.
• We come together to elevate communities working toward more equitable, evidence-based policies, so people can live longer, healthier lives.
• We apply life-saving science and research to inform our policy solutions, making a meaningful difference in communities.
• We take on society’s most pressing health challenges and champion change that is improving lives everywhere.

 

 

We are the heart of progress.

By speaking out for policies that help build healthier communities and healthier lives, the American Heart Association’s grassroots network – has been doing just that for more than 30 years. We’re a community of fathers and mothers, neighbors and friends, researchers and caregivers, passionate about an America where everyone can access health and hope.

Each day, we work together to advocate for policies in our cities, states and across the country that ensure longer, healthier lives for all.

And we hope you’ll join us to change the future of health!
