When people think about saving lives, they often picture doctors or first responders. But at the American Heart Association, saving lives is a collective effort. Every role plays a vital part in advancing our mission.
For Monique Denton, Region Senior Human Resources Director, that reality came into focus after hearing a survivor share how CPR saved their life, not once, but after three cardiac arrests.
"Hearing the survivor's story connected our daily work directly to a life that was saved," Monique said. "It strengthened my sense of purpose and reminded me that whether we are supporting employees, advancing research, providing education, or raising awareness, we are all helping to create healthier communities and save lives."
As an HR leader, Monique sees her role as supporting the people who bring the mission to life every day. By helping employees feel valued, equipped, and inspired, she helps empower the teams making a difference in communities across the country.
At the American Heart Association, every role matters. And together, we're helping create a world of longer, healthier lives. ❤️
