(Buffalo, NY) President Joe Biden signed a bill on Monday to give more automated external defibrillators to schools and to access more training for people to learn CPR. This act is called the Cardiomyopathy Health Education, Awareness, and Research, and AED Training in the Schools Act of 2024, or HEARTS, for short. On of those who supported this action was Damar Hamlin, an NFL football player and Pittsburgh area native. Hamlin needed an automated external defibrillator to help him for the cardiac arrest that he suffered during a 2023 NFL football game.
