  • 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.

Advocate Appreciation Week: Thank YOU for all you do!

Monday, July 19, 2010

This week is all about YOU! Every You're the Cure advocate makes an impact each time they click on an alert, write a letter to to editor, meet with their legislator or any other action to build a relationship with their lawmakers. These actions taken by all of you truly help us to carry out the lifesaving work of passing and implementing policies that encourage heart-health.

The schedules of legislatures in all of our states are dynamic and hectic, now that they are out of session we wanted to take some time to truly say THANK YOU for everything you do to support our mission.

In fact, we would like to take the rest of this week to say thank you and highlight some of the amazing accomplishments of our advocates. Check back to the blog each day this week to see advocate spotlights featuring some of our top advocates! We will also be doing some other fun updates on the accomplishments of You're the Cure advocates overall in our states as well as some updates to resources to help you!

The advocacy team of the American Heart Association Great Rivers Affiliate would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for everything that you do!

Welcome to the online home for American Heart Association advocacy in the Great Rivers Affiliate! The Great Rivers Affiliate includes Delaware, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

We update regularly about our ongoing legislative issues (for example: tobacco prevention and cessation, childhood obesity, nutrition, stroke and STEMI systems of care, etc). We hope this blog proves to be a resource to keep our amazing advocates up-to-date with our fast-paced legislative happenings!

You don't have to be a doctor to save lives - just an advocate with the American Heart Association and its division the American Stroke Association. In just a few moments, you can make a huge difference. All you have to do is respond to the issues and action alerts that you feel are important.
