Americans’ lives are touched by heart disease and stroke every day. Whether it is our own health that is impacted or the lives of family members, friends, or co-workers, there is a lot at stake when it comes to fighting our nation’s No. 1 and No. 5 killers. But we all have the power to make a difference by speaking out for policies that help build healthier communities and healthier lives.
Each day, we work together to advocate for heart-healthy and stroke-smart communities through legislative and regulatory policies in our cities, states and across the country, and we hope you’ll join us!
