Mission Statement

The American Heart Association (AHA) is dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke, which are leading causes of death worldwide. Their mission emphasizes the importance of promoting cardiovascular health and well-being for all individuals. The AHA aims to achieve this through various means, including research, education, and advocacy efforts.

About This Cause

The six cardiologists who founded the American Heart Association in 1924 would be amazed. From humble beginnings, the AHA has grown into the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. A shared focus on cardiovascular health unites our more than 35 million volunteers and supporters as well as our more than 2,900 employees. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer worldwide, and stroke ranks second globally. Even when those conditions don’t result in death, they cause disability and diminish quality of life. We want to see a world free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Our size and scope let us have real impact. The AHA has invested more than $5 billion in research, making us the largest not-for-profit funding source for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease research next to the federal government.
