MedPro Gives, the philanthropic arm of MedPro Healthcare Staffing, announces its recent charitable donation of $1,290 to the American Heart Association (AHA). This donation stems from our ongoing commitment to support meaningful causes through our “Cocktails for Charity” Friday Happy Hour initiative.
100 Years of Support
The American Heart Association, a distinguished 501(c)3 non-profit organization, dedicates itself to promoting longer, healthier lives by championing research, treatment, and prevention of heart disease and stroke. Over its 100-year history, the AHA has transformed the landscape of cardiovascular health, once considered a fatal ailment, into a realm of hope and possibility. Through scientific inquiry and the unwavering support of volunteers and advocates, the AHA has broadened our understanding of the multifaceted factors contributing to heart diseases and strokes, including not only medical issues like high blood pressure but also societal challenges such as structural racism and discrimination.
With an impressive track record of raising and investing $5 billion in research funding, assisting 19 million patients through their Quality Care Initiative for High Blood Pressure, and training 22 million individuals in CPR, the American Heart Association stands as a beacon of progress and compassion in healthcare.
