The American Heart Association is a large volunteer organization whose mission is to reduce disability and death due to heart disease and stroke. However, working in isolation, the Association has limited potential to achieve its goals. We must work as individuals, as an organization, and in coalition with other organizations to direct major public policy issues. Only in this way can we bring about substantial change on a national level. Some public advocacy accomplishments, and major priorities for the present and future, are reviewed. Readers are invited to lend their support.
美国心脏协会是一个大型志愿者组织，其使命是减少因心脏病和中风导致的残疾和死亡。然而，孤立地开展工作，该协会实现其目标的潜力有限。我们必须以个人身份、作为一个组织并与其他组织联合起来，以引导重大公共政策问题。只有这样，我们才能在国家层面带来实质性的变革。本文回顾了一些公共宣传成就以及当前和未来的主要优先事项。欢迎读者提供支持。
