AHA- Volunteer Appreciation week!!

Our Sincere Thanks Theresa TC Eckstein -- This Volunteer Appreciation week, we want to thank you, our advocates who volunteer with us every day to advance the issues that matter most to all of us – seeing people live and thrive with healthy hearts and healthier lives. Volunteers are the heartbeat of the American Heart Association. Even in these uncertain times, we know we can count on you to stand up with us and use your voice to support important issues. We’ve all come to have interest in heart and brain health in different ways. Some of us might be in the medical field, some may be a survivor or loved one. Whatever the reason, we all see the need to think about our health and act on it in our own lives. We are a relentless force building a world of longer, healthier lives. Together we strive so we all have access to care and resources to be heart healthy. As a You’re the Cure advocate, you know this is our mission. We know you are with us and we thank you. Thanks to your efforts, we have helped provide access to healthier foods in the community and schools, provided access to quality health care, and prevented many from starting or continuing tobacco use. You continue to help us address the health inequities that put so many at risk for serious illnesses and possibly an early death. Sometimes you may wonder if it is making a difference, and we are here to say, it does! Together we can and do achieve so much. Please take a few moments to watch this special video thank you message.  We offer our deepest gratitude to you for using your time and your voice to fight for longer, healthier lives. With Heart, Allyson and Rebecca Your MA Advocacy Team http://www.yourethecure.org/

Adopt a Stronger Stroke System of Care for Massachusetts

Stroke kills 2459 people each year in Massachusetts and the current crisis has brought to light the gaps in our current stroke systems of care. 

When someone is suffering a stroke, they are required to go to the closest hospital which may not always be the best hospital for ensuring they get the care they need. When patients need to be transferred to a more comprehensive center to treat their severe stroke the transfer time is impacted greatly. 

Please send a message to your lawmakers today and ask them to adopt a stronger stroke system of care so that we can get stroke patients to the best care possible in the least amount of time.

Coronavirus: What heart and stroke patients need to know

Know the truth about cardiovascular disease in women.

Theresa TC, Cardiovascular disease kills more women than all cancers, accidents and diabetes combined. That's one mom, one friend, one sister or one wife…every 80 seconds. Don't let another Heart Month slip past without learning your own risk of heart disease – and the symptoms of a heart attack. It can save your life! Friends Of TC Eckstein, Women who put the needs of others first can ignore their own obvious symptoms – until they no longer can. Just a Little Heart Attack, starring Elizabeth Banks, encourages women to put their heart health first. WATCH VIDEO Heart disease strikes more women than men, causing more than 1,000 deaths each day – and impacting nearly every family in some way. Ask your doctor about your "Big 5" numbers this month. And let us know you've taken action for your own health by posting a picture of you wearing red on our Facebook page with the hashtag #GoRedforWomen.
