Safe Life's Strategic Acquisition of HeartCert
In an impressive move to enhance community health services,
Safe Life, a prominent provider of life-saving solutions operating across Europe and North America, has successfully acquired
HeartCert, a respected Minnesota-based organization specializing in CPR, AEDs, and CNA training. This acquisition not only strengthens Safe Life’s foothold in the U.S. market but also significantly boosts its training offerings nationwide.
A Legacy of Safety and Education
HeartCert was founded by
Christina Smith, a registered nurse, and her husband
Tim Smith, a former fire captain and EMT. Their mission has always been centered around fostering community safety through quality education and self-sufficiency in emergency situations. Since its inception, HeartCert has expanded its reach throughout multiple regions in the U.S., supported by a team of over 120 highly skilled professionals dedicated to training individuals and organizations in vital lifesaving skills.
Strengthening the Safe Life Network
With the latest acquisition, Safe Life aims to establish a physical presence in the Midwest, interpreting its commitment to increasing accessibility to CPR and First Aid training. As
Jimmy Eriksson, CEO of Safe Life, states, “CPR and First Aid training are core pillars for us, and we are extremely happy to add a Midwest growth engine.” By integrating HeartCert into its network, Safe Life strengthens its national delivery coverage, ensuring that critical lifesaving training is available to more communities.
A New Era for HeartCert
Despite joining a larger organization, HeartCert will maintain its strong, established brand identity. The co-founders, Christina and Tim Smith, will continue to lead their team, leveraging Safe Life’s expansive resources to enhance their services and outreach. “Joining Safe Life represents a significant opportunity for our company to expand our impact and help save more lives,” shared the Smiths. Their partnership brings a wealth of resources to HeartCert, allowing them to enhance training capabilities and reach more individuals in need of lifesaving skills.
Future of Lifesaving Solutions
Safe Life's strategy has long centered around a combination of organic growth and targeted acquisitions of companies that lead in their respective fields. This acquisition is not merely a business expansion; it resonates with Safe Life's broader goal of increasing access to high-quality emergency training and equipment amidst an increasing demand for such services. As more people seek training in CPR and the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), Safe Life is well-positioned to lead in fulfilling this critical need.
