Heart Safe Community
In 2019, Mesquite became a “Heart Safe Community” through the North Central Texas Trauma Regional Advisory Council (NCTTRAC). The Heart Safe Community designation is designed to recognize the efforts a community makes to its citizens in protecting them from the effects of heart disease and sudden cardiac death.
Education

Mesquite Heart Board is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization devoted to making a difference in the Mesquite community by providing high-quality programs and resources that positively impact heart health. We developed a grant program where applicants are selected to receive an automated external defibrillator with accessories such as a wall cabinet, signage, and response kit. This helps ensure rapid response to cardiac events within the community. Other Mesquite Heart Board programs include free CPR/AED certification for recipients of our grant AED units as well as CPR/AED courses provided at no charge for Mesquite businesses and residents. We also provide Hands-Only CPR education for larger groups and funding for individual defibrillator vests for those with limited insurance or financial resources.
