In 2024, 14 y/o Landon Payton died in his Houston middle school gym. A lawsuit says the AED failed & the nurse lacked CPR training. Texas now mandates: ✔️ AED checks ✔️ CPR training ✔️ Cardiac emergency plans & drills #AccessToAED #CPR #CERP #CallPushShock parentheartwatch.org/a-students-dea…

🫀 NY lawmakers are considering “Connor’s Law” to require annual heart screenings as part of sports physicals for public school athletes. Inspired by 17-year-old Connor Kasin, who died after collapsing during a hockey game. #ConnorsLaw #1in300AtRiskForSCA parentheartwatch.org/connors-law-se…

Robbie’s Law would require AEDs on every Nassau County field—a critical step to save lives from sudden cardiac arrest. Named for 9 y/o Robbie Levine, who died during a baseball game in 2005. Seconds matter. AEDs save lives. #AccessToAED #CallPushShock parentheartwatch.org/proposed-robbi…

🏃♂️🤾♀️ Delaware just passed HB71! Coaches must now be trained in CPR/AED, and schools must have Emergency Action Plans for cardiac event + AEDs at athletic events. A major step forward for youth sports safety. 👏 #EmergencyPreparedness #CallPushShock parentheartwatch.org/governor-meyer…
