American Heart Association Colorado Division

In Colorado, we’re taking a holistic approach to tackling issues that are preventing our communities from living a heart healthy life. This means we’re focused on issues like improving blood pressure, increasing access to healthy food, reducing tobacco use, teaching communities CPR, and investing in lifesaving research. 

Every dollar has an impact. Because of your generous support, we have been able to achieve amazing things right here in Colorado and make a difference on the lives of our neighbors. 

Colorado Impact: 2025 Highlights from the American Heart Association

• Research Investment: Since 1949, we've invested over $5 billion in research — more than any nonprofit outside the federal government. In Colorado, we're currently funding 69 active projects totaling over $16 million.
• CPR Education That Empowers: With over 350,000 cardiac arrests happening outside hospitals each year, CPR can be the difference between life and death. We've provided over 165,000 Coloradans with Hands-Only CPR education. 
• Healthy Hearts Start Young: Through our Kids Heart Challenge and American Heart Challenge programs, over 124,000 students, families, and educators in Colorado are learning heart-healthy habits and raising funds to help kids battling heart conditions.

We're not done yet. With your support, we'll keep fighting for every heartbeat.
