The American Heart Association will be participating in several health fairs throughout the Las Vegas valley during the month of February - American Heart Month - and we need nurses, nursing students, or anyone else who is medically trained and certified to administer blood pressure checks. The focus will be educating and promoting a healthier lifestyle as well as creating an awareness and a presence for the American Heart Association in the community.
Volunteers will be performing blood pressure checks and sharing our message of heart health and heart disease/stroke prevention with the attendees. Please let us know as soon as possible if you cannot provide your own blood pressure cuff for this event.
Make a difference in the fight against heart disease and stroke with the American Heart Association!

Who We Are
The American Heart Association is 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.
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. The association has funded more than $3.7 billion in heart disease and stroke research, more than any organization outside the federal government.
