Greetings from our CEO and chairman of the board and president

我们正在促进所有人的卫生公平.
“Together, we built momentum toward our 2024 Impact Goal to advance cardiovascular health for all by identifying and removing barriers to health care access and quality. Behind every life changed were dedicated volunteers, donors and staff — the heartbeat of our mission.——Nancy Brown，首席执行官
“This past year we boldly stood together with our global family of advocates and volunteers to champion change necessary to support patients, 世界各地的护理人员和社区.” — Donald M. Lloyd-Jones, MD, ScM, FAHA，总裁

倡导系统变革

We know that cardiovascular disease causes 17 million deaths worldwide every year. That’s why we are standing up to the scourge of tobacco companies, bringing lifesaving research innovations to market and working relentlessly to give everyone the chance to eat healthier.


We must fight together.

Flavored tobacco products contribute to higher rates of heart disease, stroke and other illnesses.

A Stanford and AHA report documented tobacco companies have intentionally marketed their deadly products to Black, 西班牙裔和年轻人. The results have been tragically effective: 85% of Black and 48% of Hispanic people who smoke use menthol. More than half of teenagers who start smoking begin with menthol. Flavored tobacco products contribute to higher rates of heart disease, stroke and other illnesses.

Through our Tobacco Endgame strategy, we’re determined to end this blight.

无意外账单:倡导无意外法案

“多亏了《沙巴足球体育平台》, 心脏骤停的病人, heart attack or stroke can now focus on their urgent medical needs and not have to worry about receiving a financially devastating surprise bill,美国心脏协会首席执行官南希·布朗说.

After four years of dedicated work by our nationwide network of grassroots advocates, 《沙巴足球体育平台》已经生效, shielding people from unexpected bills and financial disaster.

Surprise medical billing occurs when a patient is billed directly for out-of-network medical care they thought their insurance would cover. 这些账单可能高达数千美元.

增强社区健康能力

We know that everyone should have the same opportunity to be healthy — but they don’t. We are improving health within a community with solutions from people within the community through our Social Impact Funds. We’re also advocating for laws and policies that help people access care, 避免吸烟，健康饮食. 我们正在努力扩大医疗补助计划 all states.


我们必须共同繁荣.

投资社区

We stand beside communities nationwide as they rise to solve some of the most pressing issues of our time.
The Bernard J. Tyson Impact Fund and the Social Impact Fund invest in local entrepreneurs committed to dissolving economic and social barriers to health equity. Our pioneering approach to these funds addresses access to health care, food insecurity and poverty. These investments are designed to sustain success; when business owners thrive, 他们的社区变得更健康.

Atlanta Harvest has created an organic oasis in Ellenwood, Georgia. The family-owned nursery and farm just south of the city provide healthy produce at fair prices to people who aren’t used to either.

粮食不安全是卫生公平的主要障碍. 亚特兰大丰收是一条通往成功的道路. Farmers Raphaela Ysrael and EliYahu Ysrael say funding from the Bernard J. Tyson Impact Fund has been a big boost to their efforts – which are making a huge difference for the people in the community.

支持健康政策

One important way we stand with our communities is by advocating for laws and policies that help people access care, 避免吸烟，健康饮食. This past year, 由我们的支持者网络提供支持, 我们通过或捍卫了190项政策，创下了美国心脏协会的记录. Our successes included:

Improving Care for All

We know that when science-based guidelines are used and followed in health care settings, 事实证明它能保证质量, equitable care. We’ve added important insights to depersonalized patient data registries, which enable hospitals to better understand how social factors can impact health. We are also working to improve the health of residents in rural communities across the nation. And we updated Life’s Simple 7™ to Life’s Essential 8™ to include sleep as a crucial component to achieving ideal cardiovascular health.

我们必须共同生存.

为改善农村地区的医疗服务而努力

农村社区的人们面临着独特的挑战, including long distances from health care and a shortage of health professionals. The result? Disproportionately high rates of heart disease and increased risk of early death.

但我们不支持这些不平等.

心脏健康新数字

基于十多年来的最新科学研究, we revamped the components identified as crucial to achieving ideal cardiovascular health and added one: sleep.

Life's Essential 8 logo

Life 's Simple™已成为Life 's Essential™. 基于十多年来的最新科学研究, we revamped the components identified as crucial to achieving ideal cardiovascular health and added one: sleep. The eight components can be divided between behaviors and health factors. Collectively, they represent a pathway to better health by reducing the risks of heart disease, 中风和其他重大问题, 比如癌症和痴呆.

Life’s Essential 8 also provides sharper tools to measure cardiovascular health. 我们修改了定义和指标, assessed it in the context of the life course and acknowledged the importance of social and economic factors.

All of this culminates in a 100-point measure of heart health available online.

Survivor Stories: Inspiring journeys of heart disease and stroke

推动科学发现

我们知道研究可以拯救和改善生命. That’s why we’ve funded 战略重点研究网络, bringing researchers and institutions together to tackle critical health issues. We also invested in research teams studying COVID-19’s effects on heart and brain health. And we funded new research and support to reduce health inequities.


We must strive together.

研究网络探究不公平现象

Science is the way we illuminate a future of longer, healthier lives. And 战略重点研究网络 是否有实现这一关键目标的重要方法. So far we’ve invested more than $250 million to establish 14 战略重点研究网络. The latest is:

卫生公平研究网络

卫生公平研究网络 are another important way we delve into inequities. The Health Equity Research Network on 母婴健康结果的差异 examines the reasons Black and Indigenous women and women living in rural areas face disproportionate maternal complications.
