Hawai'i Faces
of Heart

For 100 years, the American Heart Association, along with our volunteers, supporters and collaborating organizations, has worked to build longer, healthier lives.

Who are the Faces of Heart in Hawai'i? They are the heart and soul of our community—individuals who’ve selflessly given their time, shared their stories, and championed our mission. YOU are part of this incredible journey.

As we mark our centennial, we’re opening our hearts and sharing our stories. Join us, listen in, and add your voice to the chorus of hope and healing.


And there’s no letting up in the next 100 years as we remain devoted to a future of health and hope for everyone, everywhere.
