In an evolving Nashville community, health is crucial. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) remains a top cause of death among young athletes, often unknown to parents. “Nashville Has a Heart,” backed by Cardiac Insight, 5050 Foundation, and Who We Play For, aims to address this issue.
Our mission is to offer heart screenings for all young athletes in Nashville, make AED accessible to all schools, and educate and train CPR.
Our primary goal is to conduct comprehensive heart screenings for local young athletes annually. These screenings are essential to detect any underlying cardiac issues, ensuring that young athletes can participate in sports with confidence and safety. By identifying potential risks early on, we can provide necessary interventions, such as medical consultations and personalized treatment plans to prevent any sudden cardiac arrest.
Another crucial aspect of our initiative is equipping every school with Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). By distributing these life-saving devices across educational institutions, we create a prepared and responsive environment in case of emergencies.
Prompt access to AEDs significantly improves the chances of survival during sudden cardiac events, underscoring the importance of preparedness in safeguarding our students’ lives.
We’re committed to offering CPR training and educational programs in the community. These initiatives empower teachers, students, and parents with life-saving skills and promote immediate and effective responses to cardiac emergencies. Turning bystanders into life-savers, we equip our community to handle cardiac events confidently.
Our event relies on the generous support of volunteers to operate successfully. As a volunteer, you will play a crucial role in conducting these screenings.
