Joe Simone, president of Simone Development Companies, has been named Centennial Chair of the American Heart Association’s Heart of New York City, a year-round effort aimed at investing in and saving and improving lives in the five boroughs. The Heart of New York City culminates with the Heart of New York City Gala in June, an event that celebrates progress made through the dedication and passion of all who support this community-wide campaign.
“The American Heart Association is dedicated to the extension of life through a commitment to science, education, improving medical care and leading with prevention. This is why I am honored to serve as chair of the 2024 Heart of New York City campaign and look forward to celebrating the impact we will make,” said Simone, a member of the American Heart Association New York City Board of Directors.
In 2024, the American Heart Association will celebrate its centennial year and Simone will serve on the American Heart Association New York City Board of Directors from July 2023 through June 2025.
The American Heart Association’s centennial is a celebration of the lifesaving achievements and shared vision for a bold second century that will exponentially advance heart and brain health. The Association will continue to lead breakthroughs in science and technology, improve healthcare and advocate for federal, state and local policies that drive healthier lifestyles.
