Chicago Counsel for a Cause

The mission of the American Heart Association (AHA) is to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. Heart disease is the number 1 cause of death in the United States and claims more lives each year than all forms of cancer combined. The AHA is rallying the legal community in Chicago to combat this health threat. Legal industry leaders are joining forces with the AHA to support this effort and make an impact in our communities.
