I am walking for my family and others who are fighting ❤️ Donating to the American Heart Association (AHA) is a powerful way to make a difference in the fight against heart disease and stroke, which are the leading causes of death in the United States. Here are a few key reasons why your support matters: Lifesaving Research: Donations help fund critical research that leads to medical breakthroughs, such as the development of artificial heart valves and pacemakers. Community Health: The AHA advocates for healthier communities by promoting policies that improve public health and by providing educational programs on heart health and stroke prevention. Patient Care: Contributions improve patient care by supporting training for healthcare professionals and providing resources for patients and their families. Equity in Health: The AHA works towards equitable health for all, ensuring that everyone has access to the care and information they need to live healthier lives. By donating, you are directly contributing to these efforts and helping to save lives. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant impact. https://lnkd.in/ey_UwXFC

Surviving a stroke is hard. Life changes in seconds! Check out this resource below!

Our ECMO initiative began when Helmsley Trustee Walter Panzirer met with Dr. Demetris Yannopoulos, the visionary behind the first #ECPR program in the United States, bringing #ECMO to cardiac arrest patients. Since then, we've expanded our ECMO support to organizations in Montana and Nevada. Why? "It became an equity issue" because of how little access rural communities have to the life-saving treatment, Panzirer recently said to Inside Philanthropy. We believe that your zip code should never determine your health outcome. We believe that ECMO needs to be included in the standard of cardiac care, and has a future role in cardiac arrest response. It is essential to fund its expansion, both beyond the walls of a hospital, as we did with Dr. Yannopoulos and the ECPR program, and to build ECMO capacity at the hospitals where rural patients come to receive care.
