The Early Days A pioneering group of physicians and social workers formed the first Association for the Prevention and Relief of Heart Disease in New York City in 1915. They were concerned about the lack of heart disease information. At that time, patients with heart disease were considered doomed, limited to complete bed rest. So these physicians conducted studies in New York City and Boston to find out whether patients with heart disease could safely return to work. Similar groups in Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago evolved into heart associations in the 1920s. Interest spread widely in other cities across the United States and Canada. Recognizing the need for a national organization to share research findings and promote further study, 6 cardiologists representing several groups founded the AHA in 1924. Here is a timeline of some key dates and events in the AHA’s history: 1924 The AHA was founded. 1948 The AHA was transformed from a scientific society into a voluntary health agency with national headquarters located in New York City. 1975 A rapidly growing AHA moved its National Center to Dallas, Texas, to better serve affiliates and local divisions nationwide. 1980s Mid-1990s The AHA gained a foothold as a visible champion of public health. The AHA developed guidelines for the nation’s healthcare system and supported the federal government’s attempt to improve access to healthcare. The AHA focused its planning in 3 areas: cardiovascular science, cardiovascular education and community programs, and fundraising efforts. The AHA’s scientific findings began to move more quickly from laboratories and clinics to physicians’ offices and American households. 1995 The AHA’s strategic driving force for moving into the 21st century became providing credible information about heart disease and stroke for effective prevention and treatment. 5 ACLS Faculty Guide
