Join ACC for the New Orleans Health Fair on Saturday, March 21, 2026 at the Treme Recreation Community Center.

Following the success of community outreach events in Chicago and Atlanta which brought together hundreds of participants, local partners and ACC volunteers, the College is excited to give back to New Orleans – the host of city for its 2026 Annual Scientific Session. These efforts reflect the ACC's enduring commitment to transforming cardiovascular care and improving heart health for all.
