The American Heart Association is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is: "Building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke."
The mission statement was updated by the American Heart Association during its Annual Meeting in April 2007. The mission statement undergoes a formal review process every third year.
The association's impact goal is to reduce coronary heart disease, stroke and risk by 25 percent by 2010. Progress toward the goal will be measured according to these indicators:
Reduce the death rate from coronary heart disease and stroke by 25 percent.
Reduce the prevalence of smoking, high blood cholesterol and physical inactivity by 25 percent.
Reduce the rate of uncontrolled high blood pressure by 25 percent.
Eliminate the growth of obesity and diabetes.
Professional development and personal fulfillment — that’s what working at the American Heart Association is all about. You can get satisfaction in knowing your work is helping to save and improve the lives of millions of people and take comfort in knowing that you can build the career you want, your way. The opportunity to move and grow within our organization is boundless.
We work hard to hire talented, dedicated people with an unrelenting passion for what they do. Then, we work even harder to nurture their long-term professional growth with challenging opportunities, technical and leadership training, cross-functional exposure, mentoring and more.
In return, we simply ask our employees and volunteers to continually strive to perform at the highest level and deliver total satisfaction to the diverse people and communities we serve – our Customers.
