Amazing HEARTSafe Community story ❤️

Dan Pritchard, a volunteer at the NCAA track championships, went into cardiac arrest Saturday at the meet. His wife saw the emergency happening from the stands, as did thousands of fans. Pritchard received immediate attention from medics on site and was released from the hospital Monday.

Incredible commitment and collaboration in our HEARTSafe Community ❤️🚔🚑🏥 Thank you to everyone for your part in this story 🌟

Tuesday, two Eugene Police Officers had the chance to reunite with the woman whose life they helped save. Last month, she collapsed at home, and the officers, first on scene, performed CPR and used an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to revive her before medics arrived.

Now on the road to recovery, she wanted to personally thank the officers who stepped in during her time of need. The heartfelt meeting took place at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center, where she expressed her gratitude for their quick action.

This reunion was a powerful reminder that early CPR and AED use save lives and anyone can learn these skills.

The Eugene Police Foundation and PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center Foundation partnered to purchase the AED units, which are compatible with Eugene Springfield Fire’s advanced life support devices.

So impressed with this team! Their commitment to the skillful response of sudden cardiac arrest is an amazing addition to our safety net in our HEARTSafe Community, seeing an average of 200,000 people passing through every year!

Thank you to PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center, Eugene Springfield Fire, City of Eugene Government, Oregon CPR, and the PulsePoint Foundation for all of your support along the way to make this our second HEARTsafe campus!

Congratulations to our team for making the Hult Center an official HEARTsafe campus!

HEARTsafe Eugene Springfield is an initiative focused on creating a safer community by meeting specific health and safety criteria. A HEARTsafe campus designation ensures a portion of the campus population is trained in compression-only CPR and participates in ongoing training. Additionally, it needs to have a written emergency response plan, and enough AEDs registered on the Pulsepoint App in both public and private locations.

Thanks to our team, including 145 ushers, for continuing to build a safe environment for our patrons!
