Committed to Increasing Awareness & Survival Rates for Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Two more parks are now heart-safer with outdoor, temperature-controlled AED cabinets in place!

We’re proud to celebrate new public-access AED locations at New Cumberland Memorial Field and Gratz Borough in Dauphin County. These installations help make lifesaving AEDs more accessible when every second matters.

Thank you to all our partners who continue to support these projects and help us expand AED access throughout our communities. And a very special shoutout to the BJ’s Charitable Foundation for helping make these installations possible.

Creating a heart-safe community takes more than one step. It takes all of us working together to SCREEN, TRAIN, PLAN, and PROTECT.

💜 SCREEN: Help identify hidden heart risks through youth heart screenings.
🔗 Heart Screening Information: https://www.peytonwalker.org/youth-heart-screening-registration/

💙 TRAIN: Learn CPR and how to use an AED so you are ready when seconds matter.

🩵 PLAN: Every school, team, and organization should have a cardiac emergency response plan.
🔗 Emergency Response Plan Resources: https://www.peytonwalker.org/emergency-response-plan/

💜 PROTECT: Make sure an AED is available where young people practice, compete, and gather. If your youth athletic organization is in need of an AED, we want to hear from you.

MYTH: An AED could shock someone who doesn’t need it.
FACT: AEDs analyze the heart’s rhythm and will only advise a shock when one is needed.

That’s why you shouldn’t be afraid to use one. Turn it on, follow the prompts, and let the AED guide you. Call. Push. Shock. 💜

By day, they’re healthcare professionals. By night, they’re coaches giving back to our communities. Last year, Matt Connors and Aysa Urich took that commitment one step further as Heart Heroes, raising awareness, fundraising, and helping support our mission to protect hearts and save lives.

Now we’re looking for our 2027 Heart Heroes. Do you know someone who would be a great fit, or is that person you?

The 4-Minute Community is currently active in Cumberland and Dauphin counties, and right now we especially need more volunteers in Dauphin County.

When sudden cardiac arrest happens, every minute matters. CARE Team volunteers can help bring a nearby AED and support a faster response until EMS arrives.
Dauphin County, we need you. Join the CARE Team and help us build a stronger, more prepared community. Learn more: peytonwalker.org/4-minute-community

Do you know where the nearest AED is?

Take 30 seconds today to find it at work, school, the gym, church, or the sports field. In a cardiac emergency, knowing where to go can save precious time.

Find it before you need it.

Every second matters in sudden cardiac arrest.

💜 Call 911. Start CPR. Use an AED. 💜

Fast action can dramatically improve survival chances. Know where the nearest AED is; you may be the one who saves a life.

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen without warning. If someone suddenly collapses, is unresponsive, and is not breathing normally or is only gasping, act fast. Call 911. Start CPR. Use an AED.

Knowing what cardiac arrest looks like can help you respond when every second matters. Please share this post and help someone else be ready to save a life.

We’re kicking off Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month with a simple but important lesson: a heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest are not the same.

Knowing the difference can help you recognize an emergency and respond faster. Please share this post to help spread awareness and lifesaving education for our community. 💜
