HeartStarters was founded and established by Mary Houska in July 2001. She began her career as an EMT-Paramedic in 1984 and has responded to victims of cardiac arrest and horrific scenes of accidents in which citizens trained in CPR and First Aid have made a dramatic difference in how the victim survived and recovered.

As a resident of Sioux Falls since 1992, Mary discovered it was near-impossible to find CPR and First Aid classes. Thus the idea of Heartstarters was born. HeartStarters mission is to provide a greater number of quality life saving programs in Sioux Falls and the surrounding areas. Our mission is simply to "Save That Life".
