“The purpose is to recognize everyone who helped the city reach its goal of training 10 percent of the population so they are better prepared to act in case of a sudden cardiac emergency,” reads a release from the department. “The Take Heart Woodbury initiative started in March of last year with two goals: create awareness of sudden cardiac arrest and empower citizens to take action when facing an emergency situation.”
