Legacy Society
The Paul Dudley White Legacy Society exists to recognize our treasured supporters. Dr. Paul Dudley White was President Eisenhower's personal physician. In fact, he guided the president's recovery from a heart attack in 1955. And though lesser known, another of the accomplishments of this forward-thinking physician was his role as a founder of the American Heart Association. Dr. White's vision spurred the association's emergence as a world-renowned leader in heart research and education. To recognize his distinguished achievements and honor those who share his vision, the American Heart Association has formed the Paul Dudley White Legacy Society.
