Pulse3 Foundation
Description
We strive to create a community that is healthy and vibrant by championing causes related to the education, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease in the Great Lakes Bay Region and Thumb area.
In 2007, the physicians at the Michigan CardioVascular Institute reorganized its foundation - the MCVI Foundation - from one that solely performed medical research to one focused on providing public education, prevention and treatment programs to improve cardiac health in the communities served by the practice.
In June 2013, the MCVI Foundation announced a new name and an important change to its status as a charitable organization. Pulse3 Foundation (pronounced “pulse three”) was born, and the foundation changed from a private foundation to a public charity, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.
To achieve our vision of a community free from heart disease, our board of directors believed the foundation needed to evolve. The issue of heart disease demands even greater involvement by people and organizations in the region.
The new name focuses on the “power of three.”The average human heart beats about three billion times in a lifetime. There are three areas that Pulse3 builds all of its efforts around: living, learning and lifesaving. There are three communities – Bay, Midland and Saginaw, as well as the entire Great Lakes Bay Region – that are coming together in unity to address a health issue that affects us all.
We are a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to serving YOU!

The president of the American Heart Association is a living example of recognizing the emergency and starting CPR as quickly as possible. This just shows, that truly, it can happen to anyone, anytime. We all need to be prepared. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/american-heart-association-president-credits-cpr-saving-life/story?id=51990315T

They say it takes a village... Port Huron Schools has used creativity and foresight in implementing the new state law requiring students to learn CPR before graduating from high school. Congratulations to all involved!
This family will have a happier holiday this year, because their 9-year-old son knew something was wrong with his dad, and he went right away to get help. Recognizing a problem and acting quickly to get help are important factors for cardiac arrest survival. Because we never know where or when a cardiac arrest may happen, knowing what to do could help save your loved one's life. Being aware, recognizing a problem, and acting quickly increases chance of survival. Great job, Lucas! mlive.com/rockford/index.ssf/2017/12/9-year-olds_quick_reaction_hel.html
