About Healthy For Good™
The American Heart Association’s Healthy For Good movement is designed to inspire all Americans to live healthier lives and create lasting change. It focuses on the simple idea that making small, simple changes today can create a difference for generations to come. Healthy For Good is the AHA’s official Healthy Living movement, based on these four pillars:
Related Councils
Council on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology (ATVB)
The Council on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology (ATVB) contributes to the mission and objectives of the American Heart Association (AHA) through efforts in the fields of arteriosclerosis, thrombosis and vascular biology. The council advances and coordinates research, addresses prevention, improves methods for diagnosis and treatment, and works actively with other organizations concerned with these issues. The council disseminates reliable information related to these fields through its annual conference, many awards and lectures, and the AHA's journal, Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology.
Steven R. Lentz, MD, PhD, FAHA
Chair, Council on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology
Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences (BCVS)
The American Heart Association (AHA) created the Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences (BCVS) in 1999 to promote research and education. Our goal is to improve understanding of mechanisms of basic cardiovascular regulation to support the development of new therapies and insights into clinical cardiovascular disease. Special emphasis is placed on integrating molecular/cellular and physiological approaches to address problems relating to functional genomics, cell signaling, myocardial biology, circulatory physiology, pathophysiology and peripheral vascular disease.

Chair, Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences
Council on Functional Genomics and Translational Biology (FGTB)
The mission of the American Heart Association (AHA) Council on Functional Genomics and Translational Biology (FGTB) is to advance discoveries from genetics, systems and translational biology and to facilitate their application in global cardiovascular health and disease.
