The American Heart Association's mission is to reduce disability and death from heart diseases and stroke.

Description:
Heart Disease is the #1 killer of men and women in the Maine. Heart Defect is the #1 birth defect in Maine. Stroke is the #3 killer in the state. In fact, Heart disease kills more people in Maine than the next 7 causes of death COMBINED, including all forms of cancer.

The American Heart Association's impact goal is to reduce death and disability from heart diseases and stroke by 25% by the year 2010. In order to accomplish this goal, the American Heart Association raises money to fund life-saving research and educational programs (for professionals and the public) throughout the state. We are a grassroots, people-to-people organization that will put your time, talent and financial support to good use!

History:
Recognizing the need for a national organization to share research findings and promote further study, six cardiologists representing several groups founded the American Heart Association in 1924.
