NEUSHA is collaborating with Parent Heart Watch to develop an educational program for school health professionals about developing cardiac emergency response teams in schools. We are conducting a confidential survey to
understand the learning needs of school nurses, school health professionals, educators and administrators regarding preventing and responding to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in schools. Individual responses will not be analyzed or shared. This survey consists of 18 questions, and should take about 10 minutes to complete.
Please share your thoughts about what content should be included in this program.

to complete the survey by September 30th

and be entered into a random drawing
for a free registration to the
15th Annual National Heart to Heart conference
in Tampa, FLA (January 2020) or a wall cabinet for an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
