It’s time to sound the alarm: health care affordability has reached a crisis point—and it’s costing lives. Our new Presidential Advisory outlines 5 principles to cut financial barriers, prioritize prevention, and ensure high-quality care without hardship. newsroom.heart.org/news/health-ca…

Honored and grateful for this recognition ❤️ This belongs to all our incredible volunteers, supporters, partners, and staff, whose efforts move our mission forward.

What an incredible accomplishment! Nearly 1300 trained in CPR and a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORD at #nfldraft! 🎉 My heartfelt thanks to the @NFL , @HamlinIsland and Dr. Mike for their commitment to this amazing achievement that will save lives ❤️

Few people have shaped cardiovascular medicine so profoundly or for so long as Dr. Eugene Braunwald. For generations of discovery, his contributions helped define modern cardiology and strengthened the foundation on which today’s breakthroughs stand. His legacy lives on not only in these medical discoveries, but in the people he inspired and mentored, including many leaders who continue to shape cardiovascular care today.

This is what building a Nation of Lifesavers looks like. Join us this Friday at the #NFLDraft as we attempt a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for most people to complete CPR training in one hour alongside the @NFL, @HamlinIsland's Chasing M’s Foundation, and @RealDoctorMike!

Our #HeartPowered advocates are the reason progress on cardiac arrest preparedness is possible. Funding the HEARTS Act would give schools the tools they need to respond in a cardiac emergency.   Contact your members of Congress today: advocacycampaigns.heartpowered.org/campaign/14502…

Monica and Ximena Martinez are inspiring examples of our mission in action. Through the sister’s lifelong participation in the Framingham Heart Study, alongside our former @American_Heart president and study lead, @dmljmd, they have been essential in helping shape the longest-running and most significant cardiovascular research project of its kind. I had the privilege of sharing Monica and Ximena’s relentless journey on my @thrive blog: spr.ly/6016B6aGao

I am pleased to share that the @American_Heart Heart Walk and Kids Heart Challenge™ & American Heart Challenge™ have once again ranked among the top peer-to-peer fundraising programs in the nation - coming in at No. 1 and No. 4 on the @P2PForum Top 30 Survey. With record-breaking growth and millions raised to support lifesaving research, CPR education and community health, this achievement belongs to our incredible youth, volunteers, and supporters.

@GovBraun Thank you for your leadership, @GovBraun. Together, we’re shaping a healthier future.

Yesterday I joined state employees at the Indiana Department of Health in support of American Heart Association National Walking Day. Just 30 minutes of daily activity can lower risk of death by 17% and walking is one of the simplest ways to get moving. Together we can Make Indiana Healthy Again.

@tatereeves @AHAMississippi @American_Heart We’re so grateful to be walking this path alongside you all in Mississippi.

Mississippi proudly supports the @AHAMississippi and @American_Heart’s efforts to get out and get moving — there’s not a more beautiful state to do that in than ours! I’ve proclaimed tomorrow as Walking Day in Mississippi!

@KellyAyotte Absolutely, every day is a great day to move our bodies for heart and brain health. We're so grateful for your participation, @KellyAyotte.

Celebrated National Walking Day by getting some fresh air with members of the American Heart Association! Great to say hello to some fourth graders from Heron Pond Elementary, too. There’s still time to get your steps in and enjoy this spring weather — get outside!

@GovArmstrong @American_Heart @DrOzCMS This is so inspiring to see! Thank you all for being part of this movement.

Walking daily is a great way for people of all ages to stay active and healthy. Thanks to everyone from the Capitol and @American_Heart who joined us for National Walking Day, and @DrOzCMS for promoting how regular walking can save lives and reduce health care costs.

@GovJoshGreenMD You have been a true champion for heart and brain health and momentum like this drives real change. Thank you so much for your participation, @GovJoshGreenMD

April 1 is National Walking Day! Walking is one of the simplest ways to improve our health. Just 20 minutes a day can make a real difference by improving mental health, mobility and helping manage chronic conditions.

@GovofCO Thank you for stepping up for heart and brain health, @GovofCO

Colorado is built for movement—so whether it’s a walk around your neighborhood, a break between meetings, or time on your favorite trail, I encourage everyone to take a few minutes today to step outside and get active.

@SarahHuckabee @DrOzCMS Together, we’re creating healthier futures. Grateful for your leadership, @SarahHuckabee

My administration is joining @DrOzCMS to encourage Arkansans to get up and get moving this National Walking Day. Just 20 minutes of walking a day makes a difference!

@GovPritzker Thank you for showing how simple actions can create meaningful change, @GovPritzker

Happy National Walking Day, Illinois.

@MassGovernor Here’s to more steps, stronger hearts and minds, and healthier communities, thank you.

Did you know that walking for just over 20 minutes a day can put you in a better mood, help you sleep and reduce your risk of heart disease? Every step moves you toward a healthier, happier, longer life. Happy National Walking Day! ❤️

@GovStitt @DrOzCMS @American_Heart Love seeing communities come together for better health - thank you for leading the way.

.@DrOzCMS challenge accepted- Oklahoma is all in on #NationalWalkingDay. I challenged our MOHA council to get in on the action, and they’re stepping up. Just 20 minutes a day sharpens your mind and increases longevity. Join me as we partner the American Heart Association to Make Oklahoma Healthy Again and encourage Oklahomans to take simple steps toward a healthier future- starting with a walk in the sun. #MOHA 🇺🇸

@NC_Governor @DrOzCMS We’re grateful to have you walking with us - thank you, @NC_Governor

Whether we are taking Leila and Harper for an evening walk or rediscovering one of NC’s many trails like we did last summer in Old Fort, we find so many beautiful places to explore on foot. Today, I’m joining @DrOzCMS and Governors across the country to lift up National Walking Day. I hope you’ll plan to take part. Taking time for a 20 min walk a day can help us build a safer, stronger, and healthier North Carolina. @NatlGovsAssoc @American_Heart
