Meet Survivor Joe Schweitzer
Joe Schweitzer was working out at a local gym on the evening of June 24th, 2015. He and his wife Teresa had just finished a 40 minute workout when he looked over at her and asked to leave because he wasn’t feeling well. Within seconds of getting into their vehicle, Joe exclaimed that his head hurt and that he wanted to go straight to the hospital. Then, Joe went into sudden cardiac arrest.

AHA Volunteer Authors Letter to the Editor In Support of Tobacco Tax
North Dakota voters will vote on Measure 4 on the November ballot. Measure 4 would increase the tobacco tax in North Dakota, something that hasn't been done in 20 years. We encourage support for this measure as increasing the price of tobacco is proven to be the most effective way to prevent youth from ever starting to smoke. In addition to lives saved from tobacco-related illnesses, significant savings in health care will be realized in North Dakota. AHA volunteer advocate Linda Warner has authored a letter to the editor submitted to newspapers across the state.
