How we are changing the future of health together

Since the American Heart Association’s founding in 1924, deaths from cardiovascular diseases have been cut in half. And yet, there are still so many lives to be saved. By driving breakthroughs in science, policy and care, together we can continue to advance health and transform lives every day.

Amy Grant: Musician & Survivor

In 2020, Grammy Award winner Amy Grant underwent open-heart surgery to correct a rare condition affecting her heart, which her doctor referred to as a ticking time bomb. Grant specifically credits the research and medical breakthroughs funded by the American Heart Association as the reason she has more time to do the things she loves – with those she loves.
