  • 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.

Watch 'The Celebrity Apprentice' this Sunday – Star Jones participates on behalf of AHA

Friday, March 4, 2011
Starting this Sunday, the American Heart Association will be named charity of choice for Star Jones as she competes in this season’s “The Celebrity Apprentice.” The premiere of NBC’s hit show airs this Sunday, March 6 at 9 p.m. EST/8 p.m. CST. Watch Star’s promotional Celebrity Apprentice AHA Video.

On March 17, 2010 Star underwent open-heart surgery to repair her aortic valve. Thanks to Dr. Valentin Fuster, a past AHA president and a cardiologist at Mt. Sinai Medical Center, and his colleague Dr. Paul Stelzer, Star is back to her regularly scheduled activities.

To celebrate the one-year mark of Star’s successful surgery and her involvement with the show, the American Heart Association is hosting a fundraiser and Celebrity Apprentice viewing party at NYC’s Opia Restaurant on Sunday night.

Be sure to tune in Sunday evening as Star “battles” it out among her peers, all for a good cause!
