We started Vitals because we refuse to be bystanders. Driven by a shared discipline and a deep passion for public health, we realized that the "Chain of Survival" is only as strong as the people standing nearby. In Massachusetts, we have some of the best hospitals in the world, but the first few minutes of a heart emergency happen on sidewalks, in gyms, and at home. Every second counts and we are here to make sure those seconds aren't wasted.
