2021 West Michigan Have Faith in Heart COVID-19 Information Webinar
Our Community Impact in West Michigan
This year, we have proven we can turn on a dime to address our county’s biggest health challenges. But we have more to do. By participating in our events such as Heart Walks, Galas, Go Red for Women and the Kids Heart Challenge, you further the mission of the American Heart Association.
Rethink Your Drink
We won’t sugarcoat it: sugary drinks like energy drinks, pop and fruit drinks have been linked to heart disease and other chronic illnesses. But with a few substitutions, Michigan families can dump the sugar and improve their health.
CPR & First Aid Training
Emergencies leave us feeling helpless, but they don’t have to. Take two minutes to learn Hands-Only CPR™ 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.
2021 Stroke Awareness Month Webinar
We took an opportunity to look at the subject of stroke from several angles - prevention, acute stroke care and personal stories. This webinar was powered by Mercy Health.
A Community Conversation about Teens and Vaping
This forum, made possible with support from Ascension Borgess, discusses the impact of vaping on a teen's health, what our Youth Market staff are seeing in local schools and some of the legislative impact in Michigan.
