The History
Gallatin Heart Rescue was formed after a miraculous cardiac arrest save in July of 2011. The patient was saved because CPR had been initiated within minutes of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). This patient walked out of the hospital without any neurological defects within a week. Gallatin Heart Rescue is a product of a few of the pre-hospital caregivers who responded to that emergency, and who recognized the impact of bystander CPR on the favorable outcome.
