Take Heart America is a non-profit organization based in Saint Paul, MN, dedicated to increasing neurologically intact survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) through the use of state-of-the-art technology-based treatment protocols. Their research has shown that a holistic utilization of a Neuroprotective CPR strategy is associated with a significant improvement in saving lives and increasing neurologically intact survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Partnering with communities and organizations, Take Heart America implements data-driven bundles of care to improve survival rates and favorable neurologic function after SCA. They collaborate with survivors, their families, and survivor networks to bring about positive change in behaviors and raise awareness about the importance of immediate intervention through CPR and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). SCA is the third leading cause of death in the U.S., and Take Heart America aims to make a difference by providing high-quality, consistent cardiac arrest care to all fire personnel and their communities through their Hearts on Fire Initiative.
