The vision of the Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation is that sudden cardiac arrest will be exposed as a grave and overlooked health risk affecting young people, which will lead to mandatory cardiac screenings and the required placement of AEDs and cardiac emergency response planning and training in schools and youth-centered programs.
Through awareness, education and action, our mission is to influence families, youth, educators, sports programs, elected officials and the medical community to recognize the incidence of sudden cardiac arrest in youth, to support the standardization of of prevention protocol at home, in school, on the field and at the doctor’s office, and to empower youth to become the next generation of life savers.
Our free heart screenings for ages 12 to 25 have identified 500+ with cardiac abnormalities — 236 significant enough to cause sudden cardiac arrest.
