The AHA Turns 100

The American Heart Association is committed to advancing health equity – which can exist only when all people can have the opportunity to enjoy healthier lives. We’re removing barriers to health through work in communities, scientific research, advocating for healthy policies and more. Please join us on this critical journey.
Over our 100-year history the American Heart Association has relentlessly worked to save and improve lives. And now, facing a historic pandemic that has disproportionately harmed people who already face health disparities, the AHA is responding with urgency. With the strength of our millions of volunteers, supporters, partners and collaborators, we are taking bold actions — we call them our 10 Commitments — to remove barriers to health for all.
