MIKEY MISSION
The Mikey Network is working to create public awareness and provide education about heart healthy lifestyles. Currently we are committed to placing “MIKEYS” (public access defibrillators) in as many high-risk locations as possible so people affected by sudden cardiac arrest might have a second chance at life. Through The Mikey Network, the beat goes on.

WHAT IS A MIKEY?
A MIKEY is an automated external defibrillator (AED) that can be used to bring a lifesaving shock to a victim of Sudden Cardiac Arrest before emergency services personnel can arrive.
Time is of the essence in the case of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, and with a MIKEY at hand, people can assist in those first few crucial minutes. The Mikey Network was established in memory of our friend Mike Salem, who died of cardiac arrest on a golf course in 2002.

MIKEY’S YOUNG AT HEART PROGRAM
The Mikey Network has a new initiative and it’s called The Mikey Young At Heart Program. The app made for this program helps educate teens on how to perform CPR and use a Mikey AED. Teens will earn volunteer hours by completing this program, learn what to do in an emergency when someone suffers from a cardiac arrest, and fundraise for The Mikey Network along the way!
