American Heart Association North Dakota
Join the Nation of Lifesavers
We’re working in states and communities across the state to improve the chain of survival from cardiac arrest: CPR training as high school graduation requirement so that more people are ready to take action when cardiac arrests occur; requiring schools and athletic facilities and events have a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan, and ensuring the person who answers the 911 call can identify a cardiac emergency and coach the caller through CPR.
The Road to Rural Health
People who live in rural areas get sicker and die sooner than people in urban areas. But the American Heart Association – working with people in rural communities – is committed to changing that picture. In South Dakota, long distances and fewer medical professionals impact emergency response.
Multi-Partner Health Collaborative
We’re working with partners across the state to make North Dakota the healthiest state in the nation. By collaborating to bring resources and community-wide approaches to prevent, treat and manage public health priorities we hope to enhance the health of all North Dakotans.

In Your Community
The American Heart Association is committed to driving equitable health impact in North Dakota through five key priority areas: women, readiness, tobacco and vaping, patients, 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 key impact areas, and with collaboration among local organizations, sponsors, businesses, and others that serve the community, we are working to improve the health and well-being of North Dakota citizens while saving and improving countless lives.
Throughout the state of North Dakota, we’ve seen our community impact work grow, including efforts around creating avenues for greater access to care, expanding healthy food access and education, building a network of first responders through CPR kits in schools, supporting blood pressure screenings and education, and educating on the dangers of tobacco and vaping.
People are counting on us as never before. We at the American Heart Association, along with our supporters, will drive change, and we will be relentless. Thank you for your continued support.
For more than 40 years, Advocacy has had a mission-critical role in the American Heart Association's work. Our legislative and regulatory priorities help to mitigate risk factors and protect survivors in communities across the country. We support the enactment of evidence-based public policies that lead to longer, healthier lives.
Public policy advocacy is an essential strategy used by the Association to affect necessary and sustainable policy, system and environmental changes that help North Dakota citizens build healthier lives free of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Our efforts in North Dakota and its communities are focused on the following policy areas: Tobacco and Vaping, Access to Care, Medicaid Expansion, and Hypertension Prevention and Control.
