Powerful Partnerships
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
