Why: You're the Cure

You don't have to be a high-powered lobbyist to call on Congress--just a healthcare professional who volunteers his or her time to prescribe a lifesaving message. American Heart Association advocates are part of a nationwide network of people dedicated to finding a cure for heart disease. They contact legislators to lobby for more funding for medical innovations, paving the way for lifesaving medical advances like new drugs to control high blood pressure and lower cholesterol, pacemakers and coronary bypass. Join us and you too can save lives from the nation's No. 1 killer--heart disease.
