HARLINGEN, TX – Dr. Arturo Cavazos, Superintendent for Harlingen’s Independent School District joined the American Heart Association’s Southwest Affiliate Board as the first superintendent in the board’s history. The Board of Directors is made up of community leaders, medical professionals and executives that are committed to fighting the No. 1 killer, heart disease.

The priority of the Board of Directors is to provide strategic leadership across 6-states in revenue generation and mission impact. Dr. Cavazos is no stranger when it comes to advocating for children in the community. He was recently named the 2017 Regional Superintendent of the Year and will go on to represent the region in the statewide Superintendent of the Year program next month.

“It is an honor to be joining the American Heart Association Board of Directors,” said Superintendent Dr. Arturo Cavazos. “Promoting health and wellness is one of our initiatives as part of our strategic plan and has become ingrained in HCISD culture to ensure that we are providing opportunities for our staff to stay fit. We realize the role of heart health when it comes to the overall wellness and happiness of our HCISD family. It’s never too late to make changes to live healthier lives, and we thank the American Heart Association for all their efforts to illuminate the importance of staying fit.”
