  • 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.

A Cause to Dye For

Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association’s national movement to increase awareness of heart disease and to inspire women to take charge of their heart health. Every year, close to 500,000 women die of heart disease—the No. 1 killer of women...making it a cause that is truly To Dye For. On Friday, February 5, National Wear Red Day, everyone is encouraged to wear red to draw attention to the fact that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women over age 20 - 75 local women and men will sport their red in their hair.
