California

A relentless force for longer, healthier lives in our community.
San Diego

Northern California

We will only beat heart disease and stroke if we work together. We advocate for policies that prevent cardiovascular diseases, improve the quality of and access to care, increase research funding and expand rehabilitation services.

Southern California

Imagine a California where healthy choices are equitable and accessible, where your freeway exit does not determine your health. We are fighting heart diseases and stroke, the No. 1 and No. 4 killers of all Americans, by making the places we live, learn, work, play, pray and heal healthier.
