"My time as an AHA EmPOWERED scholar has been nothing short of amazing. I was able to see the future of health being accessible to everyone everywhere. From the leaders themselves, I got a better understanding of health disparities and their prevention. Throughout my time, I was surrounded by all the other AHA scholars and we all contribute to the future of promoting diversity and combating health barriers. I am thankful to be a part of the AHA network to advance health equity in every environment I am in." Meet Elizabeth Onyekwere, EmPOWERED Scholar Alumnus Join Elizabeth and apply for the program. http://spr.ly/6040jJZsn #ETSScholars

#TheAHALife X Centennial As we celebrate Mother's Day, we honor the incredible strength and dedication of working mothers everywhere. Meet Belinda Orland, our National Sr. Director, Research & Grants Administration, who has gracefully prioritized motherhood and her 21-year journey at the American Heart Association. Belinda’s influence extends beyond the office walls. As a devoted mother, she exemplifies the heart of #TheAHALife. Today, we celebrate her, not only as a leader, but also as a cherished parent. Through the years, Belinda's daughter, Samantha, has been by her side, witnessing firsthand her unwavering commitment to our cause. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Belinda for all she does, both as a loving mother and a dedicated employee. Happy #MothersDay What’s motivated you to stay for 20+ years with the organization? - The American Heart Association mission, my co-workers, and our volunteers. I’ve worked in a couple of departments and always appreciated working with smart and fun people. Something new is always on the horizon, so the work stays fresh. What’s one of your favorite memories as an employee here? - In the early 90’s a group of National Center staff would do weekend trips to participate in nearby Association bike events. This included Association leadership and all levels of staff. The passion for our mission was inspiring. As we celebrate this milestone, what excites you about the future of the organization and #TheAHALife? - The Association continues to expand our mission and reach a wider audience. Seeing how far we have come in the first 100 years makes me realize there are boundless opportunities ahead.

AHA co-founder Dr. Paul Dudley White firmly believed in that regular physical activity was good for the heart - at a time when few cardiologists agreed. He was a vigorous walker and often biked to work at Harvard. #AHABoldHearts
