Overview

Mission

To educate and support cardiopulmonary rehabilitation professionals, advance the practice, ensure the quality of care, and advocate for the impact of these life-changing and live-saving interventions.

What it reported doing in 2024

Journal - aacvpr's bimonthly journal of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and prevention (jcrp) was the first, and remains the only, professional journal dedicated to improving multidisciplinary clinical practice and expanding research evidence specific to both cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation. This includes exercise testing and prescription, behavioral medicine, and cardiopulmonary risk factor management. In 2007, jcrp expanded its scope to include primary prevention of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Jcrp publishes scientific and clinical peer reviewed original investigations, reviews, and brief or case reports focused on the causes, prevention, and treatment of individuals with cardiovascular or pulmonary diseases in both a print and online only format. Editorial features include editorials, invited commentaries, literature updates, and clinically relevant topical updates.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 91% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filed totals do not add up.
