Illinois is the newest state to join the Heart Rescue network, bringing the total to eight. ILHR has a full-time Project Director, and a Data Manager. The remainder of the team are all volunteers that are dedicated to improving outcomes. The team includes doctors, nurses, students and healthcare professionals, all with a passion to create a system of care that strengthens the links in a chain of survival.
