The AHA is the community leader in educating the people of Hawaii how to reduce their risks of heart disease and stroke. The AHA of Hawaii invests approximately a half-million dollars annually to support medical researchers. These investments give Hawaii's medical community a better understanding of the unique health risks challenging Hawaii's diverse ethnic population, and lead to the development of more effective treatments and prevention strategies. The AHA also serves as the community's voice in Washington, D.C. and here at home on cardiovascular health-related issues. It insures that cardiovascular research funding remains a priority and that legislative efforts are made to protect the public's cardiovascular health.
Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death and disability in Hawaii.
