Trevor Martindale, State Government Relations Director for the American Heart Association provided us with the opportunity to join the American Heart Association advocacy database. We are sharing the link here to join: Join Us - You're the Cure

From their "You're the Cure" website:

"OUR GOAL:
Every person deserves the opportunity for a full, healthy life. As champions for health equity, by 2024, the American Heart Association will advance cardiovascular health for all, including identifying and removing barriers to health care access and quality."

The website has excellent resources including their "You're the Cure Advocacy Guide". Their mission is: "To be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives."

 Please consider joining their advocacy database. As an example, we would all like to see healthy choices for our students' school lunches and breakfast programs. This is a great opportunity to find ways to effectively advocate for the implementation of interventions to enhance the cardiovascular health of our students.
