ILLINOIS HEART RESCUE PARTNERSHIP: PREPARING SCHOOLS FOR 2025
WorldPoint's collaboration with Illinois Heart Rescue comes at a critical time, as schools across the state gear up to meet the new mandate that all Illinois school districts develop comprehensive Cardiac Emergency Response Plans (CERPs) starting in the 2024-2025 school year.

This law will significantly enhance the safety of the 2 million people in Illinois schools every day, including students, teachers, support staff, families, and school visitors. Illinois Heart Rescue (ILHR) is a state-funded non-profit that focuses on increasing positive outcomes for out of hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) by working with community organizations, EMS agencies, and hospitals, and schools across the state of Illinois.

ILHR provides both training and guidance for responding to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) through a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan (CERP), including AED maintenance and locations, Cardiac Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), CERP guidelines, and related staff training.
