About the Organization:
• The American Heart Association is the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. Founded by six cardiologists in 1924, our organization now includes more than 40 million volunteers and supporters. Our mission is “To be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.”
• We improve the health of Americans in a variety of ways. We’re the nation’s leader in CPR education and training. We help people understand the importance of healthy lifestyle choices. We provide science-based treatment guidelines for healthcare professionals to help them give quality care to their patients. We educate lawmakers, policymakers and the public as we advocate for changes to protect and improve the health of our communities. We also work with diverse partners from many sectors to build a culture of health for all.
• Our volunteer experts select the scientific research most worthy of funding — with great results. Thanks to our generous donors, we have invested more than $4 billion in research, more than any organization outside the federal government. We have funded 13 Nobel Prize winners and many lifesaving research advances such as the first artificial heart valve, cholesterol-lowering drugs, heart transplantation and CPR techniques.
• But heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of Americans and worldwide, and stroke is a leading cause of disability and the No. 5 killer in America, and the No. 2 killer globally. I hope that after this presentation you’ll see the impact you can make and join in the fight to improve health and save lives.
