Telecommunicators are the true first responders and a critical link in the cardiac arrest chain of survival; the difference between life and death.

Help us ensure that all Kansas telecommunicators receive the training to give CPR instructions over the phone. #ksleg

⁦@NCSLorg⁩ listening to a session on a topic near & dear to me - childcare. My mother ran a home daycare in McPherson for over 30 years. She was underpaid and under appreciated. #ksleg should work toward solutions instead of scrapping!

It's CPR WEEK!
Did you know about 74% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home? Be ready to save a life by learning the two steps of Hands-Only CPR: Call 911 and push hard and fast on the center of the chest. #CPRWeek #NationofLifesavers

[Kari Rinker @KariRinker]

@AHAKansas had a great time in Concordia with North Central Kansas Medical Center celebrating AHA's centennial. We discussed the future of heart care, eliminating barriers to access to care and creating a nation of lifesavers. Thankful for amazing volunteers and physicians!

Thank you @GovLauraKelly for signing SB 19! School Cardiac Emergency Response Plans, w/AED access & CPR training, save lives. Thankful for #ksleg leadership & our champs Rep Adam Thomas & Senator Warren. #AHA #NationofLifesavers #CERP

[AHAKansas @AHAKansas]

As legislation to require schools to have Cardiac Emergency Response Plans (CERPs) is advancing through the KS and MO Legislatures, we showed what that response could look like.

A big thank you to @ChildrensMercy, Project ADAM, and the Smart HEarts Sports Coalition #ksleg #moleg

All I want for my birthday is HB2494 to pass. Hoping #ksleg grants my wish! Cardiac emergency response plans w/AED access & CPR training save lives! Students, staff & grandparents deserve a shot at surviving school based cardiac arrest. AEDs increase survival rate by 70%

[AHAKansas @AHAKansas]

Happy Birthday, Kari!

Who would #MedicaidExpansion benefit? Some of the individuals are right in your local communities, working hard to help children. #ksleg

Year after year, Melissa continues to share her story of being a working Kansan living in the coverage gap. Year after year, the #ksleg refuses to act.

[AHAKansas @AHAKansas]

Melissa Dodge's daughter was born with a heart defect, which has motivated her to become an advocate for heart health. She is sharing her story in hopes of showing Kansans & lawmakers how important expanding Medicaid is to our state. @American_Heart
