Heart Smart - The Cliff R. Roop Cardiac Support and Education Foundation

Heart Smart

HeartSmart, the Cliff R. Roop Cardiac Support and Education Foundation's goal is to donate Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to public facilities in Anne Arundel County and make available CPR training and AED certification to support this endeavor.

Through an annual raffle, 5K RunWalk fundraiser, generous support from business sponsors, and a partnership with the Anne Arundel County Office of Risk Management, HeartSmart has been responsible for the placement of more than 40 AEDs in public areas of Anne Arundel County where citizens gather. Through the partnership with the County’s Office of Risk Management, HeartSmart can supplement placement of AEDs through their office, greatly enhancing the Foundation’s ability to place more AEDs where they are most needed as well as facilitating CPR training and AED certification in the use of these life-saving devices.
