  • 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.

KY: Our LAST Chance to Save Campbell County's Smoke-Free Law!

Monday, February 14, 2011
This is our last chance to save the smoke-free law!

Last December, Campbell County voted for a comprehensive smoke-free workplace ordinance to preserve the lives of workers and patrons of Campbell County's bars, restaurants and bowling alleys. Unfortunately, this legislation is being threatened and we need to take action to make sure Campbell County residents keep the right to breathe smoke-free air.

This is our last chance! We need your voice TODAY!

The Campbell County Fiscal Court will vote to kill our new smoke-free law this Wednesday, February 16th at 7 p.m. - unless they hear from you! Thanks to those of you who have worked so hard on this important issue! We need your help ONE MORE TIME to ensure that no one has to risk their health to earn a paycheck or enjoy a night out in Campbell County.

Please send a message NOW to the members who are threatening to overturn the 100% smoke-free workplace ordinance that was passed in December after years of debate and public input. Contact them TODAY and urge them to let the smoke-free law go into effect to protect the rights of nonsmokers to breathe smoke-free air.
