American Heart Association Invited to White House Briefing on Heart Health

On Feb 24, 2012, 70 American Heart Association volunteers were invited to a White House “Community Leaders Briefing” on cardiovascular health as part of American Heart Month. Through this important dialogue, they were able to exchange ideas and devise ways to improve the health of their communities.
