Medical research gives patients hope, advances new treatments and strengthens communities.

So pleased to see so many leaders and volunteers alongside @American_Heart Volunteer President @manesh_patelMD in Washington, D.C., advocating for independent science and continued support of medical research.

Taking care of your heart starts with small steps. @American_Heart volunteer Dr. @Jcontreras75 shares simple ways to get started.

Her message is simple and powerful:
- Know your family health history.
- Understand how life stages can affect heart health.
- Learn CPR so youre prepared to act

These steps can protect your heart and help save a life.

Through innovative digital health tools, the ACCESS Model will make it easier for patients to receive the care they need and clinicians to provide effective treatment.

This type of connected care is key to improving cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health. By recognizing CKM as a syndrome of interconnected conditions, we can move toward earlier detection, more coordinated treatment and better outcomes for the 89M+ people at risk in the U.S. @american_heart

The @American_Heart volunteer and staff leaders called for global resolutions on heart and brain health during the @UN General Assembly in New York City. Many thanks to @CNBC correspondent, volunteer and stroke survivor @sharon_epperson, science luminary and past Heart Association President Dr. Valentin Fuster and staff executive Dr. @MitchElkind for guiding these discussions.

What’s good for your heart is good for your brain.

That’s why @American_Heart and the @alzassociation filed an amicus brief supporting the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT), a Texas voter-approved initiative to advance Alzheimer's and dementia research.

Families facing these diseases cannot afford delays in progress.

What an impactful conversation between @Oprah and @drtaranarula about @American_Heart’s Life’s Essential 8, knowing your blood pressure and the simple steps we can all take to improve and maintain heart health. Thank you both for sharing this vital message.

Cardiovascular disease is now the leading cause of death among Hispanic adults in the U.S., according to a scientific statement published today in @CircAHA. This is a call to action for all of us. I’m grateful to Dr. @Jcontreras75 and the volunteer writing group for bringing attention to this urgent issue and helping chart a path toward better health.

For more than a decade, Walter Panzirer and The Leona M. and Harry B. @HelmsleyTrust have transformed access to health care in rural communities across the country. Their latest strategic investment, Mission: Lifeline Stroke Wyoming, builds on that powerful commitment and will help ensure more people receive timely, lifesaving stroke care no matter where they live.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost on September 11, honor the heroes who answered the call, and hold close the families forever changed by that day.

At the @American_Heart Association, we are proud to support 9/11 Day and its powerful call to turn remembrance into service. May we honor this day by caring for one another, strengthening our communities, and choosing to do good.

We will never forget. #911Day

Strong communities depend on strong science. A temporary delay of the OMB grantmaking proposal isn't enough. Congress must pursue a bipartisan, long-term solution before Dec. 11. Tell your lawmakers to act: heartpowered.org/actions/messag…

The future of cardiovascular health depends on bold science, meaningful collaboration and a shared commitment to improving lives. This weekend, I’m in Munich, Germany with American Heart Association President Dr. @manesh_patelMD, Dr. Bradley Maron, Dr. @MariellJessup and other @American_Heart leaders and experts for @escardio #ESC2026, engaging with colleagues from around the world to help accelerate progress for patients and communities everywhere.

Heartfelt appreciation to the @BuffaloBills for hosting their HEARTbeat Game and recognizing the Heartsaver Heroes who saved the life of a freshman high school student after he collapsed.

Their quick action, courage, and commitment to helping others turned a frightening moment into a story of hope and survival. ❤️🏈
