American Heart Association EmPOWERED to Serve™
We are catalysts for change, empowering the equity equation.
Community can be defined in many ways and EmPOWERED to Serve embraces that. You may consider your extended family, neighborhood or church your community. It may be your apartment complex, school, city or social organizations in which you participate. EmPOWERED to Serve provides opportunities for everyone to improve their health and make a positive impact on the health of their communities.
The objective is to create an environment that attracts ambassadors interested in improving the social determinants of health affecting communities.
