YO~K 1924

,/ To the American Heart Association on its 40th Anniversary: The New York Heart Association is particul~rly pleased to dedicate its 1963-64 Annual Report to the American Heart Association on its 40th anniversary. When it was founded in 1924, our own organization, then nine years old, helped to create, lead,,and even house it. We recall with pride the decisive part played in creating and de~,eloping the national agency by the foresight, encouragement, and whole-hearted effort of the early officers and directors of the New York Heart Association and their successors. During the decade preceding the establishment of the American Heart Association, the organized pzofessional attack on heart disease was limited, primarily', to activities in New York City. The rapid increase in cardiac mortality, as the twentieth century entered its second decade, became a cause for alarm throughout the medical profession generally. In 1915, when heart disease for the first time surpassed tuberculosls as New York City's leading cause of death, alarm translated itself into action as Drs. Lewis A. Conner, Robert H. Halsey, John Wyckoff, Haven Emerson, and a few colleagues established the first voluntary health agency dedicated to the reduction of death and disability due to heart ailments. The then Association for the Prevention and Relief of Heart Disease, later to change its name to the New York Heart Association, devoted its first efforts to systematizing the chaotic state of cardiac knowledge and to transforming the professional outlook on heart ailments from one of frustration to one of optimism and hope. The accomplishments of the blew York Heart Association and its membership from 1915 to 1924 established a solid foundation for much of the progress since achieved, for example: I. The handful o[ cardiac clinics, already established when the Association was formed in I915 had grown to more than forty by 1924. Diagnostic nomenclature and most clinical procedures had been standardized. The resultant benefits .... improved patient health and mare productive rehabilitation.., had shown the practicability of raising clinical standards. Today eighty-seven of the city's cardlova~¢ular clinics are affiliated with the New York Heart Association and the standards developed wlth its help have been adapted and promulgated ra~tionally by the American Heart Association.

1963-64 CAMPAIGN.- Businessmen again gave whole-hearted support to the New York Heart Association's annual campaign for funds for Research, Education and Community Service. They were joined by thousands of citizens whose gifts helped to bring the Association's income for the year to $I,684,296. Income in 1964 exceeded the previous year's mark by $15~,880. Typical of the campaign was the reenlistment of hundreds of leaders in indust~ and business who gave their time to explain the purposes of the Association and ask for contributions. This was the pattern also in the huge Residential Divisions of the city where 20,000 volunteers canva~'sed the dwellings of New York in a successful door-to-door solicitation for the Heart Fund. Fred H. Brockett, President of Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., the Chairman of the campaign, told the members o£ the board of the New York Heart Association that he had found a generous and understanding public. Mr. Brockett be- lieves that the volume of gifts and the amounts of the contributions w~ll increase as citizens come to understand the grim sthtistics of death and disability caused by cardiovascular diseases. 1963-64 SPECIAL EVENTS: A substantial item in campaign.income was the revenue derived from three special events. For the past nine years a dependab[e source of funds, the Heart of America Ball was again a high point of the city's social season. Mrs. Jane Pickens Langley, Chairman of the Special Events division, once more headed the Ball Committee. An event held by the Jack Kriendhr Memorial Foundation substantially benefited the Heart Fund for the fifteenth consecutive year, primarily due to the efforts of Mrs. Charles A. Berus. The World Premiere of the motion picture, 'q'he Night of the Iguana", held at Philharmonic Hall on June 30th, was the third Heart Fund benefit. Chah-man of the event, Mr. Lawrea~ce C. Marshall, was ably assisted by both Mrs. Berns and Mrs. Lowdl P. Weicker in bringing together New York's greatest first night audience. The guests met with the stars of the film, Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, and Sue Lyon at a gala reception and supper held in the Hall after the film. PUBLIC INFORMATION: A televised interview with Edward L. Tatum, Ph.D. a Nobel Prize winner, a Cardiovascular Electronics for Science Writers, and the arranging of numerous celebrities, doctors, and others in behalf of the Heart Fund campaign were Information department during I963-64. The interview with Dr. Tatum, of The the 1958 Nobel Prize in Physiology a~.d Medicine, was filmed at Development and telecast several times during the symposium on appearances were arrag, ged for the screen, television and r dor, during a week's visit to New York City in February. During each Heart Fund at length and urged the public to contribute to the drive. on Aprll 29th at the Americana Hotel, attracted writers from daily well, gaining sub~stantial space in both media categories. The public information department also on the city's television and radio stati6ns during the campaign. issued regularly and the department participated in arranging raising campaign and activities program. Finally, during O-Rama display in department stores and railroad depots, u~h the Company, several interesting pieces of electronic diagnostic were supplementing the story of "Your Heart Fund Contribution at ' seminar !timed releases on the Set.nat on of the Public co-winner of interview L Ambassa- hdd as use

In the accompanying financia| statement, the New York Heart Assocla~ion joins ~he American Heart Association and its affiliates in a uniform national report classifying expenditures by function and type according to recommendations made by the National Health Council in March ][963. In adopting these recommendations, prepared to bring uniform accounting procedures to the entire health agency field, the Heart Associations are helping to promote greater public understanding of the use made of funds contributed for the voluntary fight against disease. JAMEB F. FOOTHORAP Treasurer The Board of Directors New York Heart Association, Inc.: We have examined the statement of financial position of New York Heart Association, Inc. as of June 30, 1964 and the related statement of operations and changes in fund balances and statement of distribution of expenses by functional classifications for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the Circumstances. As to donations, it was not practicable because of their nature to extend the examination beyond accounting, on a test basis, for the receipts as recorded. In our opinion, the accompanying statement of financial position and statement of operations and changes in fund balances and statement of distribution of expenses by functional classifications present fairly the financial position of New York Heart Association, Inc. at June 30, ~1964 and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year. Also, in our opinion, the accompanying schedule is stated fairly in all material respects when considered in conjunction with the financial statements taken as a whole. New York, N.Y.
