  • 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.

Monday, January 11, 2010
The New Year is here--and so is the start of the 2010 Legislative Session and YOUR chance to help us make a difference in the heart-health of Kentucky!

"Kentucky Lobby Day is my chance to make a difference in the lives of Kentuckians. It is an opportunity to educate our legislators on important issues affecting our Commonwealth's health and well-being and to bring them up to date on initiatives that address both the cardiovascular health and obesity levels of our citizens. It is well worth the investment of time." --Jack Rutherford, Richmond, KY

Please mark your calendars for a very special fitness day at the Capitol! Throw on your workout gear and join special guest and fellow Kentuckian Coach Mo of The Biggest Loser and other AHA advocates at the Capitol in Frankfort to educate our legislators about the No.1 and No.3 killers in the Commonwealth and the country, heart disease and stroke!
