Our mission : To be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.


As the nation's oldest and largest voluntary health organization. Our purpose is to help Americans live heart healthy and prevent America's No. 1 and No. 5 killers, heart disease and stroke.


We are advocates of good health and promoters of positive behaviors, nutritious eating habits and healthy lifestyles. We also fund cutting-edge research and professional education programs. We promise to have an extraordinary impact on your life by empowering you and your loved ones to save lives, live healthier and enjoy more peace of mind about cardiovascular health.
