For the past seven weeks, community leaders in cities across the nation stepped up to support the lifesaving work of the American Heart Association in their communities. It has been an honor to be one of the 2023 Pittsburgh Leaders of Impact!   As we look toward the last 48 hours of this #AHALeadersofImpact competition, I want to thank everyone who has already donated- you are contributing to equitable health in our community through my campaign. It’s not too late to join us in making a difference!   Make a donation now: https://lnkd.in/gTtYSByQ

Blood pressure screenings with some of my fantastic “Operation Heart” students at the American Heart Association Heart Walk this morning! It was a great opportunity to spread the word about cardiovascular health! My leaders of impact campaign goes until November 15th- still plenty of time to donate and join my team!

🎃👻 Trick or treat for a heart that beats! 👻🎃 This Halloween, we're spook-tacularly excited to support the American Heart Association. 💓 Your donation could save a life – no costume required! 🧡 Click here to make a heartwarming contribution and join my team!: https://lnkd.in/gTtYSByQ PS, your employer may match your gift, and you can check here: https://lnkd.in/dBuF3neb Thank you, and may your Halloween be filled with good health!

We are almost at the halfway point! Scan to donate and join my team! I understand that monetary support is not an option for all- this campaign is equally about sharing information to raise awareness about the impact of heart disease on our community. You can also make a difference by sharing my page and visiting American Heart Association to learn more!

You can help me be the #1 Leader of Impact in Pittsburgh.  Every Dollar Counts!   Along with the American Heart Association, I am dedicated to reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke in my community.  Will you stand with me?   $25 can provide 1 CPR Kit to a student or adult who wants to help save lives.   $35 can provide 1 Blood pressure cuff to a patient of a local federally Qualified Health Center to monitor their blood pressure at home (and this is just one of the ways that I work with AHA!) $50 can help supply 1 person with healthy and nutritious food through the AHA’s Healthy for Life initiative. These are examples of where your donation goes- but again, every dollar counts, and every donation is sincerely appreciated!   Click here to learn more about my story and to donate: https://lnkd.in/gTtYSByQ

Thank you American Heart Association! I am grateful for any and all contributions to my campaign! Link here to donate: https://lnkd.in/gTtYSByQ A little bit about me- I have been a pharmacist since 2009. In that time, I have met so many individuals with chronic conditions related to heart disease. I am passionate about increasing access to care and the ability to obtain quality healthcare services such as preventative care and those that aid in diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases. I am teaching the next generation of pharmacists at the University of Pittsburgh. I strive to empower my students to be change agents in the community. You have an opportunity to help support my efforts and shape the health of our community, as well as support the innovative research and bold initiatives of the American Heart Association that save and improve lives. The American Heart Association truly measures success in longer, healthier lives. By leveraging the strengths of this organization and mobilizing leaders across our community, together we can truly make an impact and ensure that every member of our community will have the greatest opportunity to lead their best life.

It's an absolute honor to be nominated for the American Heart Association Leaders of Impact campaign this year! Today is World Heart Day and DAY ONE of this important seven week campaign! As part of this year’s class of changemakers, I’m forming a team to make the greatest impact possible on the health of our community. We will be raising much-needed funds for the innovative research and lifesaving initiatives of the American Heart Association. I am hoping you will say “yes” to supporting these efforts and sign up for my team! This initiative is important to me, because I’ve seen the devastating effects heart disease can have on those we love. By joining my team, you’re taking a stand and joining this fight so that together we can truly make an impact! We will ensure everyone in our community has the greatest opportunity to enjoy a healthy life.
