The founder of Heartstarters is Mary Houska.

Certified an EMT-Paramedic since 1984, Mary has responded for victims of cardiac arrest and accidents in which citizens trained in CPR and First Aid have made a dramatic difference in how the victim survived and recovered.

I have seen the unfortunate consequences for a victim when no help was available, don't be the bystander who is un-prepared to save the life of a co-worker or loved one. Mary

The best chance of survival is given to the victims who receive help immediately. Did you know that statistically 9 out of 10 people in out of hospital cardiac arrest do not receive help prior to ambulance arrival? This greatly reduces the chance of survival for a victim of sudden cardiac arrest.

Allow HeartStarters to help you be prepared.
