Mission Statement
Aidan’s Heart Foundation is committed to providing awareness, education, and support to the communities of the southeast Pennsylvania region and its surrounding area to create heart-safe communities for youth regarding the prevention of and/or response to Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Description
We teach Hands-Only CPR and how to use an AED to increase chances of survival for cardiac arrest victims. We provide free EKG and echocardiogram testing for youth between ages 5-24 to screen for cardiac conditions that can not be detected with a stethoscope. We place Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in places where youth are active. We advocate for policy changes and legislation to better protect our youth. And we engage and empower youth to become leaders, certifying them in CPR, giving them space to showcase their skills and teach our communities, and elevating their potential to become citizens of service.
