About us
Parent Heart Watch is the national voice solely dedicated to protecting youth from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)—the #1 cause of death on school campuses and the leading cause of death in student athletes. Every year, thousands of children, teens, and young adults suffer sudden cardiac arrest, often without warning. These tragedies are largely preventable with early detection, education, and emergency preparedness.
We empower families, schools, and communities with the tools they need to prevent SCA through heart screenings, training, access to AEDs, and cardiac emergency response planning. Our work is fueled by passionate advocates—many of whom have lost or nearly lost a child—who are determined to ensure that no other family suffers the same heartbreak.
By supporting Parent Heart Watch, you're not just donating to a cause—you’re joining a movement to save young lives. Your gift helps us expand awareness, influence policy, and equip more communities with the resources they need to recognize and respond to SCA. Together, we can build a world where every heartbeat truly matters.
