You don't have to be a doctor to save lives.


Our advocacy volunteers and staff work with elected officials and leaders at all levels throughout the year to change public policies that affect the cardiovascular health of South Dakota residents.


As a You’re The Cure member, you will receive occasional e-mails from your South Dakota AHA advocacy staff, as well as from national AHA advocacy staff, regarding timely issues facing decision-makers at the local, state and federal levels. With a simple click on a link in those messages, you can send important messages to your representatives that can help further our mission of building healthier lives free from cardiovascular disease and stroke.


Our statewide priority issues include:


Statewide STEMI and Stroke Systems of Care

  • Ensure access to the highest quality system of care for ST-Elevated Myocardial Infarction and Stroke patients, including rapid and appropriate emergency response, acute care, secondary prevention, rehabilitation services and quality improvement.

  • Support efforts which will lead to EMS agencies obtaining and/or upgrading all appropriate emergency response vehicles with 12-lead ECG field devices.

  • Achieve statewide designation of Primary Stroke Centers in South Dakota.

  • Funding for Heart Disease & Stroke Program

  • Increase state funding for a dedicated cardiovascular health & stroke program within the SD Department of Health.
