About the Sponsor: HeartStart, Powered by Sigma
HeartStart was developed by Sigma Tactical Wellness as a way to address the #1 killer of active and retired first responders. A revolutionary cardiac and metabolic screening program specifically designed for first responders’ heart health, HeartStart is a tool to quickly and non-invasively identify the onset of heart disease in first responders before it results in a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular complication. Sigma’s HeartStart program was developed to reach any and all prospective patients directly through an online program, no matter where they are. HeartStart allows first responders to take immediate control of their heart health through just a few simple steps that could result in life-changing outcomes.
Every day, around the clock, our nation’s first responders give it their all. The job is uniquely rewarding. It’s also uniquely challenging, with physical, mental and emotional impacts.

First Responder Wellness Week is dedicated to providing resources, support and community to help public safety personnel better understand the mental and physical health risks that come with the job.

Join Lexipol, EMS1 and our partners from March 27-31, 2023, to focus on your health and promote the wellness of your personnel. Each day we’ll focus on a different theme, providing videos, webinars, articles, podcasts, shareable resources and more.
