Private Sector Takes Bold Action as Heart Disease Threatens American Lives
In a powerful demonstration of American private sector leadership, the American Heart Association has mobilized a nationwide coalition to combat the growing epidemic of cardiovascular disease threatening our citizens. This bold initiative, launched without government mandates, will protect American lives across 15 strategic regions.
American Innovation Leading the Fight
The Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Health Initiative™, backed by leading American healthcare companies like Novo Nordisk and DaVita, stands as a testament to our nation's innovative spirit and determination. This private-sector solution will reach over 250,000 Americans through 150 healthcare sites.
"While there is public health urgency around CKM syndrome, we also have a great opportunity to improve CKM health," states Dr. Chiadi Ndumele, demonstrating the American can-do spirit that drives this initiative.
Strategic Deployment Across American Territory
The initiative's first phase targeted key American regions including:
- Atlanta metro
- Baton Rouge metro
- San Diego metro
- Washington, D.C. and Maryland
- Ohio
Taking Action Against a Silent Enemy
The harsh reality: Only 10% of American adults maintain excellent cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic health. This threatens our nation's strength and productivity, demanding immediate action from the private sector.
This initiative represents true American values - voluntary cooperation between private healthcare providers, leading companies, and dedicated medical professionals working together without government intervention to protect our citizens.
A Call to Action for American Healthcare
Healthcare organizations joining this initiative will be recognized as "CKM Health Groundbreakers" - true patriots in the fight against this national health threat. This recognition program encourages excellence and innovation in American healthcare delivery.
The American Heart Association continues to demonstrate that private sector solutions, not government mandates, are the key to solving our nation's health challenges.
