American Heart Association Louisville

Our mission is to help prevent, treat and defeat heart disease and stroke — America’s No. 1 and No. 5 killers — the AHA funds cutting-edge research, conducts lifesaving public and professional educational programs, and advocates to protect public health.

The American Heart Association currently has four initiatives designed to help specific groups of Americans. Go Red For Women focuses on cardiovascular disease in women. The Alliance for a Healthier Generation combats childhood obesity. Power To End Stroke speaks to the African American community about its disproportionately high risk. And Start! works to help adults get more physical activity into their daily lives.
