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.
American Medical Group Association
AMGA was founded in 1950 as a way to help physicians practicing in groups share best practices, experiences, and strategies with one another. In 1974, the association was renamed the American Group Practice Association. In 1996 it merged with the Unified Medical Group Association to form the American Medical Group Association. In 2016, the American Medical Group Association re-branded as "AMGA," and added the tagline “Advancing High Performing Health."
