Championing Health Equity for All
For nearly 100 years 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.
Our Focus Areas
Women's Health Equity
Cardiovascular disease is the biggest health threat women face. Yet less than 40% of research participants are women. We’re working to change that.
Tobacco & Vaping
Maybe you’re trying to quit smoking or vaping, or you’re urging family or friends to do the same. We want to end tobacco and nicotine use for everyone. Here’s what we’re doing — and how you can help.
Health Equity in the Workplace
Inequity, discrimination and bias have no place in the workplace. Yet their roots remain deeply rooted in many policies and systems. Learn how we can all build toward health equity.
