Thanks to @JohnBoozman’s office for meeting with our #HeartPowered advocates today! Funding the HEARTS Act is critical to strengthening cardiac emergency preparedness in schools nationwide. #HeartsontheHill #CPRSavesLives

[American Heart Advocacy @AmHeartAdvocacy]

We’re RED-y for you, Congress!

Our #HeartPowered advocates are on Capitol Hill today urging their lawmakers to fund the HEARTS Act.

Passed unanimously by Congress and signed into law in 2024, the HEARTS Act authorizes a grant program to help schools buy AEDs, train staff and students in CPR and establish cardiac emergency response plans - but it needs funding to start saving lives! Follow along today with our advocates. 🧵⬇️

🚨 Tens of millions rely on Medicaid and SNAP to survive. Parents. Children. Veterans. Seniors. Working people. People with chronic illnesses, such as CVD.
☎️ Please tell your representative: We will not be silent while lives hang in the balance. https://t.co/Uv63Wmz3zs

[American Heart Advocacy @AmHeartAdvocacy]

By 2050, 60% of adults in the U.S. are expected to have some form of cardiovascular disease. Federal cuts to nutrition and health care access threaten progress to reduce the burden of heart disease and stroke.

📢 Protect Medicaid and SNAP. ⬇️
