  • 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.

Preparing for Medical Visits

You're the Cure GRA On Wednesday, July 11, 2012
Do you know what questions to ask your healthcare team so you can take an active part in your heart and stroke health?

Because office visits are short (about 15 minutes), preparing can help you make the most of your time with your doctor.

The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association can be your partner in making sure you’re getting the care you need. Learn good questions to ask about your health at www.heart.org/questionstoask.
