  • 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.

Governor Kasich, Can You Hear Us?

Tuesday, May 24, 2011
Legislators are hearing your message and we are closer to a solution for tobacco prevention funding than ever! They have told us we need to get the message to the governor to avoid a potential veto. Will you help spread word to the governor that we need a solution?

For every pack of cigarettes sold in Ohio, we pay $9.19 in related healthcare costs.* We can significantly reduce these costs - and more importantly, save lives - by reducing the number of tobacco-users in our state through comprehensive, evidence-based tobacco prevention programs and tobacco cessation programs.

Even with the current budget deficit, we can't give up on health! By correcting the inequality in the Other Tobacco Products tax, we can use this revenue to fund comprehensive, evidence-based tobacco prevention funding.
*According to a scientific analysis by the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids
