Economy and Health

On Sunday, May 17, AHA President Dr. Timothy Gardner was featured on "ABC World News Tonight" with Charlie Gibson discussing the decline of American's health due to the poor economy.

Parade magazine ran a story based on an AHA survey that measures the economy's negative impact on the health of Americans. Accompanying the article is an online quiz where you can take the survey to see how your answers compare with the rest of America. Check out the survey results via a news release or video news release, both put out by the AHA.
