Mission

Every person deserves a full, heart-healthy life, free from the burden of cardiovascular diseases. We envision a world where everyone has access to:

• Community-wide heart disease prevention and education
• Early detection and effective treatment
• Healthy lifestyle choices and resources

Regardless of race, nationality, gender, age, education, or income, we believe all individuals should have equal opportunities to maintain a healthy heart and well-being.

The American Association of Cardiologists of Indian Origin (AACIO) is dedicated to:

• Uniting the cardiovascular community, including physicians, scientists, health professionals, patients, the general public, and the private sector, to achieve heart health for all.
• Promoting academic excellence and clinical practice in cardiology through education, social, and scientific activities, serving the interests of our members and the communities they serve.
• Fostering close relationships with local, national, and international cardiovascular societies and organizations, including those in India.
• Recognizing and honoring outstanding cardiovascular professionals of Indian origin.
• Eliminating disparities in cardiovascular disease among people of color, with a focus on Indian Americans and other minorities, to achieve health equity for all.
