DETROIT. September 3, 2025 —Lisa Harrison, senior sales immunology specialist at Johnson & Johnson, has been appointed to serve as Society Ambassador of the American Heart Association’s Metro Detroit Board of Directors. In this role, Harrison will lead a group of health care, business, and community leaders in driving the Association’s mission in Metro Detroit and advancing health and hope for everyone, everywhere. Harrison began her two-year term as board society ambassador on July 1.
“The eradication of heart disease in our communities is deeply personal for me,” Harrison said. “My beloved father died in 2022 from complications associated with heart disease and ultimately congestive heart failure. The story is the same for my father-in-law, who passed away a few years earlier. The loss of both has had a profound impact on me and my family. And I know that many other families have felt the lasting effects of heart disease.
The work of the American Heart Association is beyond important – it is necessary and fundamental to changing the impact of heart disease in our society. My passion around changing the trends closely aligns with the mission of the American Heart Association. I am excited to lend my energy, talent and time around patient education, fundraising and donor stewardship with the Core Vitae Society.”
Harrison brings with her more than 20 years of experience in healthcare leadership and sales. In her role at Johnson & Johnson, she won the 2025 President’s Circle Award and is a regional cultural lead, creating philanthropic opportunities for her team. She is also the field learning advisor and training lead, regional access lead, Social Impact Challenge team lead, and team lead for the Healthy Communities project.
“Lisa will be a tremendous asset to our board of directors,” Southeast Michigan American Heart Association Executive Director Sara Hegarty said. “She is a passionate advocate and dedicated partner in our mission to advance health and hope for everyone, everywhere. Her expertise and leadership will be instrumental in driving impact across the Metro Detroit community.”
