Parent Heart Watch

Parent Heart Watch (PHW) is a state-by-state network of parents dedicated to reducing the often disastrous effects of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in children. PHW is an organization founded by parents who have either lost a child to SCA or whose child is at known risk for SCA. PHW grew from the friendship of Rachel Moyer, PA.; Linette Derminer, OH.; Sharon Bates, AZ.; and Laura Friend, TX., all of whom lost their children to sudden cardiac arrest resulting from undiagnosed heart problems. The members of PHW advocate for awareness and change - all with the goal of protecting children from SCA. Currently Parent Heart Watch has 170 family members representing 43 states.
