Welcome to the Take Heart Alaska Website...
Take Heart Alaska is a statewide coalition of agencies, organizations, and individuals working together to prevent cardiovascular disease in Alaska.
Mission: The Take Heart Alaska coalition has been in existence for over ten years. The coalition’s mission is to increase heart health among all Alaskans by advocating for individual and community-based commitment to healthy lifestyles, and improving access to preventive services and evidence-based cardiovascular treatment and secondary prevention.
