What is Queen of Hearts?
Each year the American Heart Association’s Queen of Hearts campaign brings together a group of young leaders to make an impact on women’s heart health in the Tri-Cities. During this 8-week campaign, young people who want to make a difference are empowered with the training and resources to take action for their own heart health and the hearts of those around them.
We are thrilled to share that Aniston Barnette, from Tennessee High School was the American Heart Association’s 2024 National Impact Winner! We are excited to build on this incredible momentum by identifying high school students with a passion for making a difference to join us for the 2025 Queen of Hearts Campaign.

With heart,
Stacy
