  • Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of CPR!

    In 1960, a group of resuscitation pioneers combined mouth-to-mouth breathing with chest compressions to create Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, the lifesaving action we now call “CPR.” This action, when provided immediately after a sudden cardiac arrest, can double – even triple – a victim’s chance of survival.

    Join us throughout this anniversary year as we celebrate CPR and the people whose lives it has saved over the last 50 years!

  • You're the Cure

    You don't have to be a doctor to save lives. Just be willing to deliver a lifesaving message to public officials whenever you can. Maybe you've already participated with the American Heart Association before by walking in a Heart Walk. Or perhaps you've helped organize a gala event. Maybe you even helped someone survive a heart attack or stroke. At moments like these, You're the Cure. Even if you're someone who wants to get involved for the first time, you can be part of the cure.

Carol Glock, Outstanding PA Advocate, Honored

Wednesday, October 14, 2009

We are excited to announce that Carol Glock is a recipient of the 2008-2009 Great Rivers Affiliate “Distinguished Achievement Award.” This award recognizes outstanding Great Rivers Affiliate volunteers who have contributed significantly to the success of the American Heart Association.

Carol (at right, pictured with Bonnie Anton, Past President of Pittsburgh Education and Advocacy Committee) was honored because of her tireless commitment and passion toward bettering the lives of stroke patients, which resonates in everything she does in both her personal and professional life. Carol has been an AHA volunteer for nearly seven years. She is a Field Representative for the Pennsylvania State Advocacy Committee in the 18th Congressional District and is a member of the Education and Advocacy Committee in Pittsburgh. She has joined us for federal lobby day in Washington, D.C., and has met personally with state and federal legislators in their district offices to help deliver important heart and stroke-related public policy messages. She was also featured in the Advocacy Pulse for work she in support of the HEART for Women and FIT Kids Acts.

The American Heart Association is fortunate to have such passionate and dedicated volunteers who, like Carol, are committed to ensuring that more people are living free of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Congratulations Carol!
