Detroit Takes Action To Heart

Detroiters often face challenges accessing essential healthcare services. These challenges indirectly impact low-income housing, schools, recreational centers, and youth athletic leagues. This comprehensive program aims to provide CPR training and defibrillators to organizations, enabling them to respond effectively in emergencies. Additionally, the program seeks to guide them in identifying local hospitals with a proven track record of successful heart treatments over ten years. The ultimate goal is to empower the community with life-saving skills and the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about their healthcare.

Following this 10-year plan, we can systematically increase CPR and defibrillator training with Detroit youth organizations, schools, and communities. This will lead to greater preparedness, improved community safety, and increased survival rates in cardiac emergencies. Partners like Sound Mind Sound Body Academy are leading the charge of keeping our communities informed and safe.
