About HeartSafe
HeartSafe Clear Creek County is a community initiative dedicated to reducing preventable death from sudden cardiac arrest across Clear Creek County, Colorado. Our goal is to ensure that a meaningful percentage of county residents are trained in CPR and AED use — enough that bystander intervention is available in virtually any public emergency.
Sudden cardiac arrest can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time. In rural and mountain communities like ours, the time between a cardiac event and the arrival of professional emergency services can be life-defining. Studies consistently show that bystander CPR can double or triple a victim's chance of survival. Yet in most communities, fewer than 20% of adults are trained to act.
HeartSafe is working to change that in Clear Creek County. By partnering with local governments, fire departments, recreation facilities, schools, and civic organizations, we coordinate free and low-cost CPR/AED training events, track community-wide training coverage by town, and provide transparent progress metrics toward our countywide preparedness target.
This platform supports those efforts by listing upcoming trainings across the county, giving trained residents a way to log and verify their certification, and giving the public visibility into how prepared our community is — and how far we still have to go.
