A Message from Our CEO, Scott Kuhlman
Heart To Beat Enters a New Chapter of Growth and Impact
I am proud to share exciting news about Heart To Beat. We are entering a new chapter with three experienced business leaders — Mike Britton, John Ryan, and Dave Stefanski — who have invested in Heart To Beat together and joined as partners to help drive long-term growth.
This partnership marks a significant milestone for our organization. It brings added expertise and fresh perspectives that will help us strengthen operations, expand our reach, and continue delivering the high-quality safety programs and services that our customers and communities rely on.
While we’re growing, our mission remains unchanged: to save lives and protect organizations through world-class safety solutions, training, and consulting.
What This Means for Our Customers and Partners
You can expect the same dependable team and service you’ve always known, now with added strength and experience to support new opportunities and an even greater focus on quality, compliance, and reliability. Our work will continue to expand across schools, businesses, and organizations of all sizes, helping more people be prepared, protected, and confident when it matters most.
This partnership is not a change in who we are, it’s an exciting step forward. With additional expertise and resources, we’ll accelerate growth while maintaining the same values, leadership, and dedication that define Heart To Beat.
