  • Summary

  • Communities thrive when resources, investments, and opportunities come together to create a flourishing environment. However, not all communities are given the same access to these critical elements. The American Heart Association (AHA) recognizes this gap and is working tirelessly to bridge it through their EmPOWERED to Serve Business Accelerator Program. We sit down with Pamela Garmon Johnson, Vice President of Health Equity and National Partnerships at the AHA, to talk about the incredible impact of this incredible program. Pamela sheds light on how investing in under-resourced communities can drive economic growth and why health equity matters. The Accelerator program has already invested over $1.3 million into 166 businesses, enabling them to generate nearly $400 million in additional investments. Pamela is excited to welcome more philanthropists, VCs, and partners to the finale event on October 9th and aims to expand collaborations with other accelerators. The goal is to further increase the program's impact and help the AHA secure additional funds for these transformative businesses. Don't miss this compelling deep dive into how strategic support in health innovation can reshape the futures of many. Tune in, get inspired, and learn how even the smallest seed of investment can bloom into a tree of communal well-being. Specifically, this episode highlights the following themes: How the EmPOWERED to Serve Business Accelerator program supports innovative entrepreneurs in underserved communities. Success stories of entrepreneurs creating transformative change through their businesses. The AHA’s approach to health equity and why it matters.
