As a graduate student who initially came from an unrelated field, my AHA membership has helped connect me to my peers and colleagues at different levels of their career.

My 90-year-old grandmother wants to live to see her great grandson marry! The optimism and hope that pervades human beings even in the midst of extremely unlikely or downright impossible outcomes is amazing. Thus, it is indeed worthwhile for healthcare providers like us to strive to achieve a healthier and longer life for our patients.
