OUR PROGRAMS

AED PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION

Griffith Blue Heart has comprised a truly unique method for implementing law enforcement AED programs. Our team outfits law enforcement with custom AED programs to match agency needs. From education on the necessity for police AED programs, to special law enforcement pricing, distribution, assembly, registration, tracking, research, and training, Griffith Blue Heart will help your agency every step of the way. Most law enforcement AED programs fail in the first 2-4 years due to lacking a system of care. Contact our team to incorporate a custom AED program for your agency to significantly improve out-of-hospital survival in your community.

RECOGNITION

Let Griffith Blue Heart help you with a  recognition event and get survivors together with those that saved them to celebrate this rare occurrence. Griffith Blue Heart offers custom awards for law enforcement and their family members. Griffith Blue Heart is one of the only organizations that makes cardiac arrest awards specifically for law enforcement. Less than 7-10% of people that go into sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting will survive. Almost 1000 Americans die daily from cardiac arrest and it is the number 1 cause of death in the United States. It is so important to take the time to recognize those few that survive as well as the heroic actions of those that stepped up against the odds and saved a cardiac arrest patient.

First Responder Health Training & Speaking

 Police Officers in the United States are up to 70 times higher risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Studies have shown police officers life expectancy is 15-20 years less than the public we serve and are 25 times more likely to die from heart disease than a violent encounter with a suspect. Learn how your law enforcement agency and individual officers can mitigate risk and save police officer’s lives. Schedule Griffith Blue Heart to come speak at your conference, do in-service training, or present to your agency.

CCR/AED ADVOCACY

Cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in the United States and the only tools currently available to combat cardiac arrest are CCR/CPR and a shock delivered from a defibrillator. Approximately half a million Americans experience cardiac arrest each year in this great country. The utilization of CCR/CPR and AEDs significantly increases the chances of survival. The Griffith Blue Heart team have done CCR/CPR and utilized AEDs countless times throughout their lives and can advocate based off first-hand experience both as a survivor and savers.

SURVIVOR SUPPORT

After someone experiences cardiac arrest, there are so many questions, feelings, and emotions that the survivor, their loved ones, co-workers, and friends are left with. It can be extremely challenging to find answers if any can be found, about their incident. Being able to speak with other survivors and their loved ones often brings comfort and insight to those new to cardiac arrest. The  Griffith Blue Heart Team can guide, listen, and mentor others in the  cardiac community by putting them in touch with fellow survivors and  survivor organizations, education groups, and giving them the  opportunity to help give back.

HEAR THE TESTIMONIALS

I first met Brandon while helping with a course called ‘CPR University’ – meant to teach high-quality CPR to small, dedicated groups of people from ambulance cos, fire depts and hospitals. This two-day course was filled with highly qualified and experienced instructors sharing methodology and principles behind saving a life after cardiac arrest. However, no amount of teaching matched the inspiration that came from Brandon sharing his sudden cardiac arrest experience. His stature, youthfulness and energy seem wildly inconsistent with someone who collapses because his heart stopped. He inspired those in the course – and has been inspiring people across the state and country at every opportunity. The combination of a real-life experience, passion and energy to save other lives, professionalism and approach-ability provides the strong foundation of Griffith Blue Heart and all it’s efforts, which I proudly endorse.

I met Mr. Brandon Griffith several years ago  shortly after hearing his remarkable story – a young police officer,  entirely healthy, falls dead out-of-the-blue. But there I was shaking  his hand, looking up (he is – who knows? – 6’ 4’?) and  thinking what a positive force of life he is. All because his wife had  done what too few witnesses to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest do –  continuous chest compressions, hard and fast, over and over, until  professional rescuers arrive and assume care.


In this act hung the balance not only of her  husband’s life, but the lives of others Mr. Griffith has no doubt had a  hand in saving through his passionate advocacy for early CPR and  defibrillation. Few people have done more to “move the  needle” in this arena in the past six years than him. His exuberant  energy and commitment to resuscitation stem from a personal experience  we hope never to suffer ourselves but, having suffered it, he works  tirelessly to convert into life for others. I sincerely  admire his work to increase early CPR and defibrillation.
