Community-based organizations, businesses, places of worship and, most importantly, neighbors like you are key in making neighborhoods healthier. This page provides resources to support your efforts.

Congratulations to our Inaugural Community-Based Organization Collaborators
Making Our Communities Healthier
Community-based organizations are vital pillars that provide social support, care, and services to people of all ages and cultures. Many of these organizations promote healthier lifestyles, provide resources, and address social determinants of health for people within their communities.


The American Heart Association is working to equip community members, local businesses, organizations and healthcare providers with tools and resources to remove barriers to health equity. Health lessons have been developed for community-based organizations and businesses that want to help their neighbors understand and manage their blood pressure. Our goal is to reduce high blood pressure, especially among those in historically under resourced communities that live with health-related disparities related to heart disease and stroke.
Webinars
Catch up on the latest information from our webinar series designed to provide local organizations, businesses, faith-based entities and community members with tools and information to be a force for healthier lives in their neighborhoods.
This webinar is intended to introduce Primary Care Associations and other primary care support organizations/partners to the National Hypertension Control Initiative.
