BackStoppers Cardiac Wellness Program
For the first time in the history of our organization, we are embarking on a mission to save the lives of public safety officers by being proactive in preventing tragedy. One of the leading causes of first responder deaths is cardiac events. We want to provide our public safety officers with the opportunity to take a preventative heart scan that could save their life.
“BackStoppers has always been there immediately upon a death of a public safety officer first, but now we want to take the initiative to help prevent a tragedy. I want every responder we serve to stay ready, be prepared and take action. Taking this heart scan will ensure that you are doing just that. This will be the first step of expanding our mission while keeping the service to our fallen and catastrophically injured heroes at the forefront.” – Lt. Col. Lawrence O’Toole, BackStoppers Executive Director
How It Works
Active-duty police, fire, and EMS officers in our 28-county coverage area who are 40 years of age or older take the quick and easy Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Scan and BackStoppers reimburses up to $200. After you take the CAC test, complete the short form below and send us your receipt and public safety officer ID to request your reimbursement. It’s that simple!
