AHA Divisions

The divisions provided for in the AHA Constitution and Bylaws are the major units for the development of recommendations of policy to the governing Council, and the elected vice presidents, as chairs of the divisions, play key roles in the Association's efforts to discharge its responsibilities. The three divisions are designed to provide the Council with information, advice, and proposals in connection with subjects or areas of concern assigned to them by the Council.
