SYRACUSE — The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association recently announced it has added nine local leaders to its Syracuse–area advisory board.
Advisory board members help lead the association’s health mission in Central New York and its fundraising efforts.

“Our organization relies on the volunteer leadership in the Syracuse area to advance our mission of building healthier lives free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke,” Franklin Fry, executive director of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, said in a news release. “We are honored to welcome these leaders to our advisory board and are looking forward to their guidance.”
The Syracuse–area advisory board was recently honored by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association on a national level. The board was recognized at the silver level of the organization’s Gold Standard Board program. The designation recognizes board members for helping the American Heart Association make strides toward its 2020 Impact Goal: to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent.
Boards recognized within the Gold Standard program must meet a high number of criteria, which may include engaging local employers to participate in health initiatives such as CPR education, nutrition, high blood pressure management, walking and sodium reduction; and focusing on increasing access to safe places for children to be active and ensuring access to nutritious food and beverage choices in each community, the association said.
