The ACC isn't the only cardiovascular society celebrating a milestone anniversary in 2024. Both the American Heart Association (AHA) and Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC) are celebrating 100 years and 50 years, respectively, while the Irish Cardiac Society (ICS) is celebrating its own 75-year legacy.

The accomplishments of each organization, whether alone or in partnership with the broader house of cardiovascular medicine, are many and include everything from the development of clinical guidelines and health policy statements to research awards and education to help grow a diverse and inclusive pipeline of clinicians, researchers and leaders.

Patients and communities have also benefitted from focused resources, events and advocacy efforts at the state and national level. Like the ACC, these societies have had – and continue to have – an indelible impact on cardiovascular patient care.
