Anyone can learn CPR.
Your hands can save a life, just like Addie’s mom saved hers.
Learning CPR only takes a few minutes, and is a skill that can be carried with you for a lifetime.

Never miss a compression.
It only takes about four minutes for brain damage to set in during cardiac arrest.
Chest compressions keep blood flowing to the brain and vital organs.
When you start to get tired, verbally let a bystander know so they can step in.
As you slide your hands out, they slide theirs in.

We are excited to welcome Nick Petraccione as our new director of Huddle For Hearts.
Nick will lead our community and athlete partnerships to help expand our impact across the country.
Can an AED cause more harm? Can it be used to shock someone who doesn’t need a shock?
The short answer is no.
An AED analyzes a victim’s heart rhythm the second you apply the pads to a bare chest.
If it doesn’t detect a specific, shockable heart rhythm, the device will not charge or allow a shock to occur.
If a shock does need to be delivered, do not touch the patient as the electrical current could transfer to you as well.
Never be afraid to use an AED to help a victim of cardiac arrest. Anyone can save a life!

With Sudden Cardiac Arrest being the #1 killer of student athletes, every coach needs to be doing this.
Coaches should protect their players as much as they develop them.
💜 Have a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan and practice it
💜 Know where the AED is located and how to use it
💜 Become CPR certified

Transferring to Penn State may have saved Alex Manske’s life.
Alex is back on the field playing the game he loves, because a routine heart screening caught a hidden heart condition.
We are proud to team up with Heart Heroes like Alex to raise awareness, advocate for regular heart screenings, and keep every playing field safe! 💜

Our mission at Huddle For Hearts hits close to home for Caroline Jurevicius.
Penn State Women’s Volleyball Alumni, Addie Lyon, survived four Sudden Cardiac Arrests in a single day.
Addie’s mom performed CPR on her and saved her life.
“She means everything to me.”
