HSSA Champion Awards
HSSA Champion Award Nomination
5/1/2016
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nominations Open
Rob L. Walker Heart Safe School Champion Award
The national Heart Safe School Accreditation program announces that nominations are open for the
Rob L. Walker Heart Safe School Champion Award.
The award is named after Rob L. Walker who led the charge in starting the HSSA program as the superintendent of Lancaster City Schools and in the Pickerington Local School District becoming the first school district in the nation to become completely Heart Safe.
The Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes (SADS) Foundation looks forward to presenting this award during SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) Awareness Month in October. We are deeply grateful for all of the principals, nurses, parents, and other volunteers who are dedicated to making schools safer and better prepared for individuals with heart conditions, ultimately helping to save lives. Nominations can be obtained from
www.SADS.org/HSSA
to recognize an individual as this year’s
Rob L. Walker Heart Safe School Champion
. All nominations should be completed and submitted to the SADS Foundation.
Heart Safe School Accreditation (HSSA) is the initiative that came to be in response to two young victims who survived sudden cardiac arrest in Lancaster, Ohio, during 2011. The HSSA program began as a pilot in Ohio in 2012. Schools that chose to become involved immediately found there was much more they could do to prepare themselves to deal with a medical emergency. The mission of the HSSA program is to assist schools throughout the country to develop skills and knowledge regarding cardiac arrest and emergency drills so that they are better prepared to save lives when these occurrences happen.
