  • 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.

We've Moved!

Wednesday, October 3, 2012

The You’re the Cure blog has a new name and a new home. The You’re the Cure blog is now The Pulse and can be found on the new YouretheCure.org.

Why the change?
The Pulse will still cover the content that you are used to seeing here, but so much more! You will have unprecedented access to not only federal heart and stroke articles, but also content that is specific for your state. You will be able to comment and discuss topics with other blog readers from your state and across the country.

Really enjoyed an article and want others to see it? The Pulse blog will let you share articles and post on your social media networks, such as Facebook and Twitter.
In addition to being the home of The Pulse, the new Yourethecure.org takes heart and stroke advocacy to the next level. On one site, you’ll be able to easily access information about our issues, take action on state and federal alerts, RSVP for events in your community, and read inspirational stories from advocates like you.

How can you start enjoying all these new features? All you need to do is sign-up to enjoy the new yourethecure.org.

Welcome to the online home for American Heart Association advocacy in the Great Rivers Affiliate! The Great Rivers Affiliate includes Delaware, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

We update regularly about our ongoing legislative issues (for example: tobacco prevention and cessation, childhood obesity, nutrition, stroke and STEMI systems of care, etc). We hope this blog proves to be a resource to keep our amazing advocates up-to-date with our fast-paced legislative happenings!

You don't have to be a doctor to save lives - just an advocate with the American Heart Association and its division the American Stroke Association. In just a few moments, you can make a huge difference. All you have to do is respond to the issues and action alerts that you feel are important.
