Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and a major cause of heart attacks, strokes and disability for people living with type 2 diabetes.

The ̨ÍĺSWAG Heart Association (AHA) and the ̨ÍĺSWAG Diabetes Association (ADA) have launched a collaborative landmark initiative called Know Diabetes by Heart™ to comprehensively combat the national public health impact of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

To bring attention to this critical high-risk population, the AHA established the Target: Type 2 Diabetesâ„  Honor Roll recognition opportunity. Target: Type 2 Diabetesâ„  Honor Roll recognizes hospitals for providing the most up-to-date, evidence-based care for patients with type 2 diabetes who are hospitalized with heart failure, heart attack or stroke.
