Mission: Lifeline


Mission: Lifeline is an American Heart Association initiative to improve the care for the deadliest type of heart attack, known as a STEMI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction). About 250,000 Americans have this kind of heart attack every year, but few receive the treatment that's critical to restoring blood flow. Mission: Lifeline focuses on a system of care that ranges from EMS providers to cardiologists, emphasizing patient care that's quick and top quality.
