The American Heart Association’s EmPOWERED to Serve is a movement to improve the health of all people and the communities in which they live. To fulfill that mission, we form strategic alliances with like-minded national organizations. These strategic alliances are a far-reaching network of multicultural communities that helps more than 45 million people live longer and healthier.

 

Our partners make an impact by:

  • Participating in AHA/ASA programs
  • Engaging in advocacy efforts
  • Driving community environment improvement
  • Leveraging influence
