  • 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.

Ohio 100% Tobacco-Free Schools

Monday, November 15, 2010
Ohio's kids can learn a lot at school. History. Math. Smoking?

It's hard to believe, but our kids may be learning about tobacco use where you'd least expect it--on school grounds. While school buildings must be smoke free inside, surprisingly, tobacco products can still be used on school property.

Of course, we want ALL Ohio schools to be 100% tobacco-free! The Ohio Board of Education is currently considering a resolution urging the legislature to adopt 100% tobacco-free school grounds--a critical first step to tobacco free school campuses. We must do everything we can to make sure our kids don't learn to start smoking or using tobacco--especially while at school.

Send a message to the Board of Education today to voice your support for this resolution!



We would like to recognize the following school districts for already being 100% tobacco-free:

Alexander Local School District

Buckeye Valley School District
Canton Local School District
Cleveland Municipal Schools
Dayton Public Schools
Dublin City Schools
Fairview Park City Schools
Jackson Local Schools
Kent City School District
Licking Valley Local Schools
Medina City Schools
Mentor School District
Middletown-Monroe City Schools
Newark City School District
Norwood City Schools
Princeton City Schools
Southern Meigs School District
Trimble Local School District
Worthington School District
