  • 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.

It's Stroke Month and With One Click, You Can Help PA's Stroke Bill Clear the Final Hurdle!

Tuesday, May 22, 2012
As we celebrate May as American Stroke Month, you have the power to improve stroke care throughout Pennsylvania by ensuring a very important bill that would improve stroke care makes it to the Governor's desk!

Last Fall, the House of Representatives unanimously passed House Bill 1400, legislation that would recognize primary stroke centers and lay the foundation for improved stroke care throughout our communities. The Senate recently unanimously passed House Bill 1400, with a technical amendment that added a definition for “licensed acute care hospital,” and is back before the House for concurrence.

Help PA's stroke bill clear this final hurdle before Stroke Month ends!  Click here to ask your Representative to concur on Senate amendments to HB1400 and ask Governor Corbett to sign House Bill 1400 in Law when it reaches his desk.

Thank you for making a real difference for PA's stroke victims this American Stroke Month!
