HeartSafe Team Members

Did you know?

The HeartSafe Team was formed in July 2006 to explore the rationale for a Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) program in southern San Mateo County. The Team is composed of community health and safety professionals from local Fire, Police, Sheriff and Emergency Medical Systems (EMS) and is overseen by a Medical Director/ Electrophysiologist. Additionally the Team includes two community members; one who is a cardiac arrest survivor and one who is a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) leader. The Team advises the HeartSafe Program Manager on such issues as AED legislation, County cardiac arrest data, and AED placement priorities. Through their own resources, they also assist in CPR training of city and school officials among the 7 southern San Mateo County Cities and 8 public school districts within Sequoia Healthcare District’s geography.
