Healthy For Good

You don’t need a guilt trip. We know you know. You want to be Healthy For Good. And we’re here to help inspire you to create lasting change in your health and your life, one small step at a time. The approach is simple: Eat smart. Add color. Move more. Be well. Get Healthy For Good.

Take the BetterU Challenge

The 3rd annual BetterU Challenge, made possible in Palm Beach through the generosity of Sally Ross Soter, empowers women to take charge of their heart health. Through this 12-week lifestyle change program, ten local women learn the importance of nutrition, physical activity, blood pressure, cholesterol, family history and other heart-health factors.

Why Cholesterol Matters

You can lower your cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. Take control of managing your cholesterol levels by making healthy lifestyle choices and following a sound medical treatment plan.

Improving the Health of Local Employees

On average, we spend more than half of our waking hours at work.  That is why we collaborated with local businesses to create a more physically active, health conscious culture in the office.

Focus on Quality

Patient outcomes improve when medical professionals apply the most up-to-date, evidence-based treatment guidelines. That’s the simple truth behind the obsession with continuous quality improvement. Our entire suite of programs can help advance your efforts farther and faster in the quest for ever-better care.

CPR Saves Lives

Emergencies leave us feeling helpless, but they don’t have to. Take two minutes to learn Hands-Only CPR(link opens in new window)(link opens in new window) now. 70 percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in homes. When a person has a cardiac arrest, immediate CPR can double or triple their chance of survival. Prepare to save a life, find a CPR course near you today.

Training New Citizen Lifesavers

We want there to be a lifesaver in every home. Our Sips & CPR series engages Circle of Red members and others to learn CPR in a fun and educational way. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue teach hands-only CPR. Cleveland Clinic physicians give heart-healthy educational presentations. Passionate and influential community leaders are changing the conversation, raising awareness, and saving more lives.

Scientific Research Is the Core of all Our Efforts

Breakthroughs. Innovation. Millions of lives saved. That is American Heart Association funded research. From the first successful pacemaker to new techniques saving newborns with congenital heart defects to drug-coated stents, we fund bold ideas that transform health care.

Closing Equity Gaps

EmPOWERED To Serve is a movement inspired by multicultural volunteers around the country who are passionate about driving change through health justice in their communities. These committed ambassadors are closing gaps in health equity through advocacy, policy, education, and social change.
