Deputy Erie County Executive Lisa M. Chimera joins Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield President Jessica Cox and Erie County Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Gale Burstein to recognize Highmark BCBS as the first local employer to earn the “HEARTSafe Workplace” designation.
The “HEARTSafe Workplace” designation helps local businesses create safer environments for employees, customers, and visitors. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, and quick action saves lives. This designation involves:
• CPR and AED training for staff
• Strategic placement of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for public access
• A Cardiac Emergency Response Plan (CERP)
