Since 2002
RescueStat is a healthcare technology pioneer focused on saving lives and protecting organizations from unexpected critical life events. We do this by delivering simple solutions backed by innovative technology and expert human support. Now a part of the Cardio Partners family, together we aim to deliver life-saving solutions to more communities across the country.
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.
