FACT:  Over 335,000 Americans die each year from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA accounts for more deaths each year than colon cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, homicide and vehicular deaths combined each year.

FACT:  A properly administered and certified cardiac readiness program can increase the chance of SCA survival from 0% to 70%.

FACT:  What meeting planners want is a safe, healthy and clean environment for their events. This includes a complete emergency response program at the hotels, convention centers, and other types of meeting facilities they choose.

FACT:  CardioReady certification assures compliance with state and federal statutory and regulatory requirements. It is the only patented certification program and follows American Heart Association best practices with regards to emergency cardiac care.

As a hotelier or meeting facility manager, you have either invested in or considered Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for your property. This is one of the fastest growing trends in the industry. More corporations are implementing AED programs in the workplace and are now looking to provide this same protection for their employees when traveling.

Reduce exposure to potential liability for failure to provide an AED program consistent with best practices, guidelines, statutes and regulations.

CardioReady, the American Heart Association and StarCite have launched a program to create greater industry awareness of the need for AED programs, as well as taking certified programs to the M&C market as a unique selling point to 90+ web sites, 400 of the Fortune 500 corporations, and other major meeting planners in our industry.

Whether you are just starting the research for AEDs or you already have them onsite and would like to capitalize on your investment, email or call us today.
