CEO Roundtable
While many companies offer workplace health programs, we lack the necessary data to know what works best. That’s why CEOs from many of the world’s largest and most admired companies joined with the AHA to create the CEO Roundtable to take bold action to help create solutions and systemic change for companies across the country.
Health Equity
Working toward health equity is the right thing to do for all organizations. Research shows that promoting health equity can benefit employee health and productivity, and reduce health care costs. The health of the entire nation will improve if employers commit to actions that eliminate inequities – benefitting employees, their families and their communities.
Volunteerism
The American Heart Association depends on the time and talent of volunteers to help us create a healthier world, free of heart disease and stroke. Find your volunteer opportunity.
