An American Company offering Lifesaving AED Access, Awareness & Monitoring Technology for All

While the name SaveHeart may be new, we certainly are not...

With over 30 years in the public safety, defibrillation, and resuscitation industries, SaveHeart is honored to partner with those who share our mission to eliminate unnecessary sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) deaths through greater AED access, awareness & lifesaving technology. We work with leading AED manufacturers, distributors, not-for-profit organizations, and technology providers to prepare & protect people and organizations everywhere from SCA emergencies. 

Made in America, we’re proud of our Midwestern roots. Whether it’s called “the Heartland, the Breadbasket, Middle America, or Fly-over Country,” most people agree that Midwestern folks are known for their honesty, integrity, and hard work. This is where we’re from. And while we’re proud to call middle America home, we’re also honored to share our values, knowledge, experience, and lifesaving products & services with our partners & customers- wherever they live, work, play, raise their families and build strong communities.
