We're the nation's leader in CPR education training with over 100,000 Tarrant County adults and teens being trained each year in CPR, AED usage and basic life-saving skills using AHA guidelines, methods and materials.
We help people understand the importance of healthy lifestyle choices though education, company wellness programs and blood pressure monitoring programs. We provide science-based treatment guidelines to healthcare professionals to help them provide quality care to their patients. In addition, we educate lawmakers, policymakers and the public as we advocate for changes to protect and improve the health of our North Texas communities. As a result of our advocacy efforts, thousands of babies born in the area each year will receive mandatory newborn screenings for congenital heart defects and Tarrant County residents will enjoy cleaner air through comprehensive smoke-free ordinances.
