About 65 organizations observed National Heart Valve Disease Day in 2019, with the Alliance for Aging Research serving as the anchor organization. Participating partners included the Women’s Heart Foundation, WebMD, Men’s Health Network, Northwestern Medicine, and the National Council on Aging.

In the past, partners have planned several activities for this anniversary, including media advocacy campaigns and social media campaigns to help spread the word about the illness. Past celebrations have included educational sessions on Capitol Hill, ringing the closing bell of the New York Stock Exchange, programs at heart and vascular centers, and more.
