Advancing Health and Hope for Everyone, Everywhere
The Need is Clear
Since the American Heart Association's founding in 1924, deaths from cardiovascular diseases have been cut in half. And yet, there are still so many lives to be saved. Recently, death rates have worsened. Solutions are not getting to the people who need them the most. We are committed to changing that.
2028 Impact Goal
Building on over 100 years of trusted leadership in cardiovascular and brain health, by 2028 the American Heart Association will drive breakthroughs and implement proven solutions in science, policy and care for healthier people and communities. The greatest discoveries in health must reach people where they are.
CHWs may not wear white coats, but we stand with the doctors who are battling the state’s greatest health challenges head-on.
They're not doctors. But they're on the front lines against West Virginia's health struggles.
