The American Heart Association is committed to a future of longer, healthier lives for all through bold public policy initiatives. State Capitol Day events serve as powerful platforms where volunteer advocates—including survivors, healthcare professionals, and community leaders—unite to amplify their voices. By fostering meaningful dialogue with lawmakers, the American Heart Association continues to champion policies that save lives and build healthier communities.
In 2026, we are hosting and participating in 43 State Capitol events across 44 states. Join our movement to change the future of health and be the progress that ensures longer, healthier lives for all.
