🚨 The Smart Heart Act is now law in South Carolina. But passing the law is only the beginning.
Every school must now have a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan (CERP) to prepare for sudden cardiac arrest emergencies. A plan on paper is important—but a plan only works when it’s implemented, practiced, and supported.
That’s where The NOLA Network’s Keep the Beat Program comes in.
We partner with schools to help them:
❤️ Develop or strengthen Cardiac Emergency Response Plans (CERPs)
⚡ Assess AED placement and emergency readiness
🎓 Provide CPR/AED education and training
đź©ş Offer low-cost preventive heart screenings for students
🤝 Connect families to follow-up care and resources when abnormal results are identified
Our goal isn’t simply to help schools comply with the law.
Our goal is to help schools become prepared to save a life.
Whether you’re a superintendent, principal, athletic director, school nurse, coach, or school board member, we’re here to help your school build a safer future for every student.
