EmPOWERED To Serve Summit 

The American Heart Associationis the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. Founded by six cardiologists in 1924, our organization now includes more than 22.5 million volunteers and supporters. We fund innovative research, fight for stronger public health policies, and provide critical tools and information to save and improve lives. Our nationwide organization includes 156 local offices and more than 3,000 employees. We moved our national headquarters from New York to Dallas in 1975 to be more centrally located. The American Stroke Association was created as a division in 1997 to bring together the organization’s stroke-related activities.What We Do:To improve the lives of all Americans, we provide public health education in a variety of ways. We’re the nation’s leader in CPR education training. We help people understand the importance of healthy lifestyle choices. We provide science-based treatment guidelines to healthcare professionals to help them provide quality care to their patients. We educate lawmakers, policymakers and the public as we advocate for changes to protect and improve the health of our communities.

American Heart Association

The EmPOWERED to Serve™ Summit will build on progress made by the American Heart Association as we continue to work with our local and national partners to build a “Culture of Health” in diverse and under-resourced communities across the United States. To create “transformative” change, we must come together and focus on “emPOWERing” partners and alliances to collaborate and create tailored solutions for local communities. 
On October 17-18, 2017, the American Heart Association/Mid-Atlantic Affiliate will host the EmPOWERED to Serve Summit at the Kellogg Conference Center on the campus of Gallaudet University in Washington, DC. We will foster collective action that improves quality of life, increases opportunity and ensures care for all our neighbors. Every member of our community will be able to achieve well-being supported by the places they live, learn, work, play, pray, and heal. 
If you can't physically be in the building, join us virtually!  Hold your spot in the most solution-oriented conference this side of the Mississippi.  You can watch all-day OR tune in for the ETS Urban Business Storytelling Competition on Tuesday night.
