American Heart Association Training
Mission and Goals
The American Heart Association's mission is to reduce disability and death from cardiovascular disease and stroke. The AHA has a strategic goal to reduce coronary heart disease, stroke, and risk by 25% by 2010. Steps toward achieving that goal include:
1) improving the chain of survival and acute care treatment
2) enhancing prevention and disease management
3) generate the resources to achieve the goal by increasing the number of instructors, providers, revenue, partnerships, training materials, and programs.
Ogeechee Technical College's Training Center supports the AHA mission and goals through administrative, educational, and quality assurance support of the AHA Instructor members. Our Training Center supports this mission and purpose through the provision of quality AHA classes to healthcare professionals and the community and by educating and informing the AHA instructors on new skills or AHA programs.
