American Heart Association- New Mexico/

American Heart Association

A volunteer-driven organization fighting heart disease and stroke through funding research and community education programs.

We know that the work that we do impacts all ages, both genders, all cultures, and all parts of the state.  We focus on educating on heart health, healthy cooking, symptoms and prevention, and so much more.  We work in the schools with children to help them understand the need and fun of physical exercise and good nutrition.  We work with our advocacy area to help formulate healthier cities and guidelines for everyone such as CPR requirement, healthy vending, and smoking cessation.  We work with hospitals, EMS, and clinicians on best practices, quality processes, and education to improve our health care.  We work with companies to help build and create a healthier work environment and wellness programs.
