American Heart Association

For nearly 100 years, the American Heart Association has been fighting heart disease and stroke and helping families and communities thrive.

Our Mission: To be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.

1 out of every 3 South Carolinians has high blood pressure, which is more than the tri-county population.

Imagine a community where healthy choices are equitable and accessible, your zip code does not determine your health, and everyone knows how to save a loved one’s life. Across the Lowcountry, we are fighting for longer lives by making the places where we live, learn, work, play, pray and heal as healthy as they can be.

Our greatest priority across the Lowcountry is to help everyone in the community have better access to things like healthy foods and physical activity, as well as mental and physical health and primary care resources.
