In Your Community

The American Heart Association stands with our communities by advocating for laws and policies that help people access care, avoid tobacco and eat healthier.

The moving force behind these efforts are our You’re the Cure advocates. These are Americans from all walks of life who advocate for legislative and regulatory policies in Massachusetts and across the country.

You can make a difference by lending your voice to this cause. Join the You’re the Cure network today by visiting yourethecure.org/join.

To learn more about our advocacy work, contact Allyson Perron, our senior state government relations lead, at [email protected].

Advocacy

The American Heart Association is honored to be working with some of the most passionate companies in Massachusetts. These supporters are vital to helping us achieve our mission.

To get your company involved in Greater Boston, contact Jessica Berretta, our vice president of development, at [email protected].

To get involved in Central Massachusetts, contact Sabrina Webb, our development director in that region, at [email protected].

Supporters

The American Heart Association is committed to creating more equitable health outcomes in Massachusetts through five key priority areas: women, tobacco and vaping, patients, addressing community need and healthy living. Equity is always at the center of our work, and it will continue to guide all that we do.

Through our focus on these impact areas, and in collaboration with local organizations, sponsors, businesses, and others that serve the community, we are removing barriers to health care access and quality so everyone can enjoy a full, healthy life.

To learn more about this work, contact Stephanie Voltaire, our community impact director, at [email protected].
