Our History
In Boise, ID in 2002, fellow ER doctors, Tad Cowley and Tommy Ahlquist, noticed a real need to save lives from sudden cardiac arrest before patients arrived dead to the hospital. They partnered with Craig Rasmussen and Rick Johnson and founded Stat PADS.
Stat PADS was created to provide public access defibrillation services for owners of AEDs. We believe that organizations seek to care for their most important resource, their employees, and also want to protect themselves against legal risk associated with lifesaving.
Now known as RescueStat, we are eagerly partnering with forward-thinking organizations that seek to empower their people to save lives from one of the largest killers in America.

2002
Two ER doctors witnessed too many patients dying of Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Recognizing the need for pre-hospital solutions that support the use of AEDs, they created Stat PADS.

Stat PADS shifts focus from selling AEDs locally to delivering AEDs services on its way to becoming the largest independent program management provider in the US.

Stat PADS physicians begin providing post-event reviews and celebrates first life saved on record from SCA.

Stat PADS is acquired by Uinta Capital, a group of operators and investors led by Carl Dixon, to accelerate the speed at which we accomplish our mission.

2020
RescueStat is a first mover in offering virtual AED/CPR training from the American Red Cross.

2021
Stat PADS rebrands as RescueStat to clarify that we offer more than AED adhesive pads (PADS initially meant public access defibrillation services). Acquisition of HeartStation RMS (patented IoT technology to remotely monitor AEDS).

RescueStat celebrates 20 years in the fight against SCA and crosses the 100,000 AEDs under management threshold.
