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 North Dakota, long distances and fewer medical professionals impact emergency response.

Making ND the Healthiest State in the Nation

Multi-Partner Health Collaborative

We’re working with partners across the state through the North Dakota Multi-Partner Health Collaborative (MPHC), a team of local and state groups working together to make it easier for people to live healthier lives. Together, we focus on things that matter to North Dakotans—like better access to care, stronger communities, and support for health and wellness across the state.

In Your Community

The American Heart Association is committed to driving health impact in North Dakota through five key priority areas: women, readiness, tobacco and vaping, patients and healthy living.

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.
