Michigan Medicine is the home to one of the best academic heart and vascular centers in the world – the Samuel & Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center. The University of Michigan and the Frankel CVC community have the ability to assist the American Heart Association (AHA) in making strides in improving patient care, advocating for better health, reaching out to populations at risk, raising awareness, and protecting the future when it comes to cardiovascular health.

All this can be done through actively participating in the 2017 Washtenaw County American Heart Walk/5K Run. Let’s show U-M’s commitment to being the “Leaders and Best” in raising money for the American Heart Association. The AHA is currently funding $6,880,415 to 44 active research studies at the University of Michigan (Aug 2013-present), more than any other institution in the Midwest.
