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, and 3) generate the resources
to achieve the goal by increasing the number of instructors,
providers, revenue, partnerships, training materials, and programs.
Lanier
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.
