AHA and Partners Launch 鈥楶rotect the Heroes鈥 Campaign
Save those who are saving us
The Creative Coalition, Association for Healthcare Philanthropy, and the AHA launched the 鈥淧rotect the Heroes鈥 campaign, which allows the general public to make direct impact donations to America鈥檚 hospitals and health systems. Every dollar raised from Protect the Heroes goes directly to the donor鈥檚 choice of local hospital to purchase personal protective equipment and other support for their local health care workers to fight the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Individuals can visit and be connected to the website of a local hospital of their choosing and contribute to the hospital's emergency relief funds. Each hospital will determine where funds should be applied.
鈥淚n recent weeks we have seen an outpouring of support from Americans eager to help our nation鈥檚 health care heroes on the front lines of COVID-19,鈥 said AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack. 鈥淭his initiative is about making a difference directly in communities and providing immediate support for our brave women and men on the front lines of this pandemic.鈥
