2025 Year-End Impact Report Executive Summary 2025 marked a foundational and transformative year for Saugatuck–Douglas HEARTSafe, as the organization formally launched on June 3, 2025, achieved 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, and rapidly expanded its lifesaving impact across the tri-community region of Saugatuck, Douglas, and Saugatuck Township. In its first year of operation, HEARTSafe trained residents and visitors in CPR and AED use, installed publicly accessible AEDs, integrated local AED data into emergency response systems, and engaged tens of thousands of community members through outreach and public events. These efforts move the community decisively toward designation as a HEARTSafe Community and, most importantly, toward saving lives from sudden cardiac arrest.

Meet and maintain the requirements to become a nationally recognized HEARTSafe Community.

Use Data to Drive Regional Strategies and Local Tactics Saugatuck–Douglas HEARTSafe serves Saugatuck Township and the Cities of Saugatuck and Douglas in Allegan County, Michigan. Holland Hospital is the primary receiving facility

for the region, with Beacon Allegan Hospital and Bronson South Haven Hospital also serving emergency patients. All three hospitals participate in the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES), along with pre-hospital data submitted by the transporting ambulance service. CARES data is reviewed annually by the Michigan CARES Coordinator and the Allegan County Medical Control Authority to identify opportunities to strengthen out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival. In 2024, Allegan County achieved a 55.6% Utstein bystander-witnessed cardiac arrest survival rate. HEARTSafe uses these data points to guide local CPR training, AED placement, and community outreach efforts that align with regional and statewide cardiac arrest survival strategies.

Looking Ahead to 2026 In 2026, Saugatuck–Douglas HEARTSafe will focus on: • • • • • • • •

Expanding CPR and AED training capacity Educate 850+ community members in CPR/AED training (15% of the population) Increasing the number of publicly accessible AEDs Completing comprehensive AED mapping and verification Advancing HEARTSafe Community designation goals Growing sustainable funding through grants and sponsors Continuing strong volunteer and community engagement Integrate tri-community data to capture CPR/AED-trained personnel across the region—including schools, businesses, police, fire, EMS agencies, employees, and residents—to establish a comprehensive snapshot of community readiness

Each step builds a safer, more prepared community.
