American Heart Association
The American Heart Association (AHA) is a non-profit organization in the United States that funds cardiovascular medical research, educates consumers on healthy living and fosters appropriate cardiac care in an effort to reduce disability and deaths caused by cardiovascular disease and stroke. Originally formed in New York City in 1924 as the Association for the Prevention and Relief of Heart Disease, it is currently headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The American Heart Association is a national voluntary health agency.
Heart Support of America
Jim Halliburton founded the organization sometime after 1991 when he had a near-death experience following a massive heart attack. A former patient of Dr. Ron Rosedale, Mr. Halliburton publishes and distributes a work entitled "Heart Support of America" which advocates Dr. Rosedale's metabolic approach to the treatment of heart disease.
