In 2024, the American Heart Association will celebrate 100 years as a relentless force for longer, healthier lives. And as we look ahead, we recognize the work of the AHA is more important now than ever before. Our centennial milestone is coupled with our 2024 Impact Goal of ensuring every person has the opportunity for a full, healthy life. Every person means working with every community and that is why our Executive Leadership is so important. The Heart Ball Campaign is a catalyst for this work.
