  • 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.

Smoke Free Ohio in Danger!

Thursday, June 2, 2011

Take a stand for Smoke Free Ohio - don't let implementation go unfunded!

Flashback to November 2006 - Ohioans like you came together and overwhelmingly voted in favor of Smoke Free Ohio to protect their health.

Flashforward to June 2011 - Ohio's legislative leaders and governor do not want to fund implementation of Smoke Free Ohio. Without implementation funding, Smoke Free Ohio will be unenforceable.

You voted for Smoke Free Ohio in 2006, now we need you to stand your ground in 2011! Advocates like you are gathering for a press conference at the Statehouse this afternoon to make their voices heard - will you support them virtually?

Send your message now to tell legislators that Smoke Free Ohio implementation funding is important to you.

Thank you for protecting the health of Ohioans by supporting this critical law!
