Which of the following is an example of a volunteer and nonprofit health agency?

This item asks you to identify nonprofit, volunteer health organizations versus government agencies. The American Heart Association is a private nonprofit organization that relies on volunteers and donations. It focuses on heart health, funds research, provides education, and advocates for public health policy, operating independently of the federal government. In contrast, the Centers for Disease Control, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institutes of Health are all part of the U.S. federal government, funded by taxpayers, and carry out regulatory, protective, and research duties within government agencies. Because nonprofit, volunteer-driven structure defines the American Heart Association, it is the correct example.
