In addition to the critical need for research, AHAF is dedicated to a proactive program to educate the public about the dangers of these diseases and the steps that can be taken to reduce an individual's risk of becoming a victim. Through its public education program, AHAF also strives to provide important information and resources to patients, caregivers and loved ones on ways to cope with age-related diseases.
