The American Heart Association is a not-for-profit, voluntary health organization funded by private contributions. Its mission is to reduce disability and death from cardiovascular diseases and stroke. These include heart attack, stroke (brain attack) and related disorders. Founded in 1924 in New York City by six cardiologists, the Association today is one of the world's premier health organizations. It has about 2,000 state and metropolitan affiliates, divisions and branches throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. About 4.2 million volunteers join with the Association every year to fight cardiovascular diseases, the nation's No. 1 killer. Preventing heart disease and stroke is now - and always has been - the Association's first priority. To support this goal, the Association has given almost $1.5 billion to heart and blood vessel research since 1949. More than 30 percent of the Association's yearly expenses are used to sponsor research. |
