  • 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.

Delaware Coalition to Promote Healthy Eating and Active Living (DE HEAL)

Thursday, December 2, 2010
Delaware Government Relations Director, Jonathan Kirch, in partnership with the Division of Public Health, convened the 3rd Annual Summit of the Delaware Healthy Eating and Active Living Coalition on November 16th in Dover. Delaware HEAL was formed in 2009 with more than 100 members to reverse the tide of obesity and related chronic diseases among Delawareans by facilitating opportunities for physical activity and healthy eating. The coalition provides statewide leadership and coordination of physical activity and healthy nutrition programs, and serves as a catalyst for developing obesity prevention efforts.


The theme of this year’s summit was “Celebrating our Success” and presentations and posters were offered by the Sussex Child Health Coalition highlighting their community impact and also by the Institute for Public Administration highlighting the development of walk-ability and bike-ability assessment tools for local planners and leaders. Learn more about these accessible and practical tools at http://www.ipa.udel.edu/healthyDEtoolkit/.
