An Emory University registry that tracks out-of-hospital cardiac arrests nationwide is expanding into eight largely rural states thanks to new grant funding from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust. Emory's nationally distinguished Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) will use the three-year, $899,215 grant to improve cardiac arrest response and survivability in Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. The funding will bolster efforts to improve regional data sharing, coordination, and response efforts through the creation of a Midwestern Helmsley CARES Collaborative.
