Heartsaver Hero Award
The Heartsaver Hero award is our way of saying thank you for performing the heroic act of CPR, a critical link in our chain of survival. We want to recognize the heroes that have stepped in to help save a life during an emergency. You have not only helped save a life within your community, but you are also partnering with the American Heart Association to improve the survival rate of citizens who receive bystander CPR.
We are happy to honor anyone who has assisted in any part of our chain of survival, regardless of training or outcome.

Learn CPR and join the Nation of Lifesavers
Currently 90% of people who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests do not survive. Together, we can change that. The American Heart Association has a goal to double the survival of cardiac arrest by 2030. Immediate CPR can double or even triple someone’s chance of surviving sudden cardiac arrest. Be ready to be a Heartsaver Hero when it matters most. Learn CPR and join the Nation of Lifesavers.
