HEARTSafe Community 

The Connecticut Department of Public Health and American Heart Association

encourage and promote community awareness of the potential for saving the

lives of sudden cardiac arrest victims through the use of cardiopulmonary

resuscitation (CPR) and increased public access to defibrillation (AED). In order to

increase this awareness, they developed an initiative to designate CT

municipalities and workplaces as “HEARTSafe.” The East Haddam Ambulance

Association (EHAA) was recently notified that their application has been

approved, designating East Haddam as a HEARTSafe community has been

approved. EHAA will also assist any local businesses in becoming a HEARTSafe

Workplace.
