How we got started... Recognizing the need for a national organization to share research findings and promote further study, six cardiologists representing several groups founded the American Heart Association in 1924. Our mission… To build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Our impact goal… By 2020, to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20% while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20%. How we do it… Raise funds for research, education and advocacy to fight cardiovascular diseases and stroke – America’s #1 and #3 causes of death. Locally, we raise over $1.2 million through our 3 signature events. Current AHA research awards at the University of Louisville exceed $1.6 million. In Kentucky, over $4.2 million.

Losing weight and maintaining weight loss Talk to your physician, nurse or healthcare provider for assistance. Make a plan together. Be informed and know your body mass index (BMI). To achieve steady weight loss, eat 200-300 calories less each day. 60 minutes of physical activity most days of the week is recommended for adults attempting to loose or maintain weight ** All other adults should accumulate at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week.

3 important reminders about weight loss and maintenance Weight control is a lifetime project. Short-term rapid weight loss diets usually fail in the long run.
