American Heart Association: Spring Flex Charity 2024
The 2024 American Heart Association's Life is Why campaign helped the continued success of the Libraries with Heart program.
In 2022, AHA was able to launch Libraries with Heart in Racine, which is a self-monitoring blood pressure program. Patrons can go to the library and check out a kit that includes a self-monitoring blood pressure cuff and culturally appropriate resources. In 2023, they were able to expand to a Waukesha Library and Menomonee Falls. From there, the association heard that physicians were referring their patients to go to their library and check out the kit, track their blood pressure and let them know, so they could have a better understanding of what their blood pressure was beyond that yearly appointment. With the help of Sendik's guests, the AHA will now be in all 13 Milwaukee Public Library branches, 5 senior centers and we start this program with churches soon! This would not be possible without the support of Sendik’s guests!
