American Heart Association Utah
Help us ensure that everyone in Utah has the opportunity to live a longer, healthier life.
Do you know where you stand?
In America, 116.4 million adults have high blood pressure - and too many have no idea. Left undiagnosed, the condition can lead to heart attack or stroke. Help stop the “Silent Killer” by getting checked and making a generous gift to help a loved one in need.
A Culture of Health
Imagine a Utah where healthy choices are equitable and accessible. Where the healthy choice is the easy choice. We are fighting heart diseases and stroke, the No. 1 and No. 5 killers of all Americans, by making the places we live, learn, work, play, pray and heal healthier.

Making an Impact in Utah
The American Heart Association Utah Division is beginning to dive deeper into issues our community is facing and bringing together all of our resources to drive impactful, sustainable and equitable change. We want to ensure every Utah has the opportunity to live a full, healthy life. Please watch this video to see the incredible impact volunteers, donors and sponsors helped the American Heart Association make throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Making a Difference in Under-resourced Communities
For Nan Murphy, a routine physical in 2012 became anything but when she suffered a heart attack during the exam and was transferred to the catheterization laboratory (cath lab). Physicians discovered Nan had Type 1 diabetes, as well as bradycardia or a heart rate that’s too slow. Today, Nan continues to fight fatigue and strives to live a healthy lifestyle. She also works to help others gain access to much-needed medical resources and education.
Educating Others About Stroke and AFib
When Anthony King began his daily workout routine on November 1, 2018, he felt lightheaded and dizzy. Realizing it was serious, Anthony called 9-1-1.
Warning Others to the Dangers of Vaping
As with too many teenagers, Katie Bertram's addiction to vaping began with the sweet kiss of an e-cigarette. That first mango-flavored nicotine rush in 2018 began an eight-month ordeal for the 19-year-old that ended only when she underwent hip surgery and determined to quit cold turkey.
