The Advocacy Pulse highlights the great progress that AHA volunteers and staff have accomplished over the past year. Arkansas has made great strides in AED placement and our recent press event is highlighted. Over 11,000 students across Arkansas supported this effort by signing petitions and completing coloring sheets that were delivered to Governor Beebe.
