Healthy Petaluma’s HeartSafe Community program was featured at the Association of California Healthcare Districts (ACHD) Annual Meeting in Monterey last week!

Our HeartSafe Community Program Manager, Tami Bender, presented “Empowered and Equipped: A Healthcare District’s Model Supporting Bystander Cardiac Emergency Readiness,” sharing how Healthy Petaluma is helping communities prepare for sudden cardiac emergencies.

From CPR training and strategically placed AEDs to partnerships with schools, businesses, and emergency responders, our HeartSafe Community program works to ensure more people have the knowledge, equipment, and confidence to act when every second counts.

We’re proud of Tami and the work she leads, and grateful for the opportunity to share our approach with healthcare districts from across California.

Thank you to ACHD for bringing districts together to learn from one another and strengthen community health throughout the state!

This is why learning CPR matters.

Earlier this summer, Petaluma residents Robin and Russ Giles were enjoying a day at Clear Lake when Russ suddenly went into cardiac arrest. Robin, a longtime Healthy Petaluma HealthQuest CPR instructor who has taught CPR for 30 years, immediately began chest compressions and continued until emergency responders arrived.

Russ survived.

This weekend, the American Heart Association honored Russ as the featured survivor at the North Bay Heart Walk at Sonoma State University. His story, and Robin’s lifesaving response, were also featured in The Press Democrat.

For Healthy Petaluma, their story is a powerful reminder of why CPR education matters. Robin has spent decades teaching others the skills she suddenly needed to use to save her own husband’s life.

And she didn’t stop there. Following Russ’s cardiac arrest, Robin organized CPR training for their neighbors at Clear Lake and purchased an AED for the community.

We are grateful to Robin for the many years she has spent teaching lifesaving skills through HealthQuest CPR, and very happy to see Robin and Russ together and doing well.

Healthy Petaluma was proud to sponsor and attend Sonoma County’s 13th Annual State of the Latino Community Address at Sonoma State University.

The morning brought together community leaders from across Sonoma County for important conversations about the experiences, strengths, and opportunities shaping our Latino community, including economic mobility, education, health, housing, and the future of work.

We especially appreciated the opportunity to hear new local data from the 2026 Latino Scorecard and to consider what it means for the work ahead. Understanding the experiences of our community helps inform thoughtful investments that support health and well-being across southern Sonoma County.

Thank you, Sonoma for bringing our community together for this important conversation.

We are thrilled to say that the Petaluma Farmers' Market is the first Blue Zones Approved Grocer in the nation!

This is no small feat! It is beautiful to live in a community with such close proximity/access to local produce of all types. We also had the chance to offer multiple homemade salad dressing workshops at both the East and West Side markets, highlighting how to make simple, affordable dressing to go with your seasonal produce.

Brought to Petaluma by Healthy Petaluma District & Foundation, Blue Zones Project Petaluma is helping our community make the healthy choice the easy choice.
