title: Update on American Heart Association education and information initiatives.
abstract: The American Heart Association has placed emphasis on providing information and educational resources about cardiovascular diseases and stroke. These initiatives are helping to reach a broad-based population of those at risk and potentially at risk. Programs include employee health, supplements for health education in schools, and community-focused programs for awareness and modification of cardiovascular risk factors. Healthcare professionals are encouraged to increase their knowledge of these resources to better serve their patients.
