Dr. Rosen, a practicing cardiologist for over 30 years, will
formally take the helm as president in July 2025. As volunteer
President-elect, she will support the AHA’s newly announced
president, providing guidance and insight, and helping to direct
the overall initiatives of the 35 million volunteers and supporters
of the AHA.
“I am deeply honored and grateful to be elected as the
President-elect of the American Heart Association as the AHA
celebrates 100 years of lifesaving service. I look forward to
supporting AHA President, Keith Churchwell, MD, in advancing his
vision for the AHA’s future,” said Dr. Rosen, Partners Council
professor of women’s health and professor of cardiology at the
Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.
“Together, along with all of the AHA’s amazing staff and
volunteers, and my colleagues at Northwell Health, we will continue
our vital work to promote heart and brain health, with a special
focus on the unique challenges faced by women.”
For more than 30 years, Dr. Rosen has been a passionate AHA
volunteer, offering her time, clinical expertise and advocacy in
advancing the mission of the AHA. Dr. Rosen has served in
leadership roles at the local, regional and national level,
including the National Board of Directors. Dr. Rosen currently
serves on the AHA’s International Committee, NYC Board of Directors
and NYC Medical Advisory Committee. With a career focused on the
cardiovascular health of women, Dr. Rosen is passionately engaged
in the AHA’s Go Red for Women initiative. In 2018, Dr. Rosen
received the AHA Women in Cardiology Mentoring Award; and in 2021,
she received the AHA’s Physician of the Year Award.
Dr. Rosen oversees Northwell’s Katz Institute for Women’s
Health. Its mission is to enhance women's health throughout their
lives, bridging the gap between wellness and personalized care
delivery. With a dedicated focus on women, the Katz Institute
offers comprehensive healthcare and sets the standards for
excellence in patient-centered women’s healthcare. It also serves
as a convener and amplifier for all of Northwell’s women’s health
initiatives, including supporting sex- and gender-specific
research, providing expert, coordinated clinical care, and
educating the community on prevention and well-being.
She is a sought-after expert in the cardiology and women’s
health space. In 2023, she was the recipient of the 2023 WomenHeart
Wenger Award for Excellence in Medical Advocacy. She co-authored
the book Heart Smarter for Women: Six Weeks to a Healthier Heart,
which was published in 2022, and co-produced the documentary Ms.
Diagnosed, which premiered at the Cinequest film festival in 2020.
And most recently, Dr. Rosen was named to Modern Healthcare’s 2024
Top 50 Clinical Executives.
“It is only fitting that Dr. Rosen has been elected as the new
President-elect of the American Heart Association. Her unwavering
dedication to heart health, especially her advocacy and support for
women’s health, is inspiring,” said Michael Dowling, president and
CEO of Northwell Health. “Our Northwell Health team is proud to
support Dr. Rosen and the AHA in their mission to raise awareness
about heart disease.”
The AHA is dedicated to ensuring equitable health in all
communities through collaborations with numerous organizations, and
with the help of millions of volunteers. 2024 is the AHA’s
centennial year, starting in 1924 when six cardiologists founded
the group as a professional society for doctors.
