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.
