American Heart Association

The American Heart Association’s mission is to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. Every person deserves the opportunity for a full, healthy life. As champions for healthy equity, by 2024, the American Heart Association will advance cardiovascular health for all, including identifying and removing barriers to health care access and quality. Our Go Red for Women campaign is changing the perception women in Toledo have about heart disease and stroke. Throughout the year, we share life-changing stories of triumph and loss to inspire women to make changes to their own personal health. Through National Wear Red and Give Day, we blanket Toledo in a sea of red so that women know heart disease and stroke are their number one health threats. And through various programs, we are working with underserved communities to improve health and opportunities for all women.
