Cardiac Care & Safety

What Cardiac Care & Safety does

Cardiac Care & Safety, Inc. is a private, founder-owned safety training services company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Abington/Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. The company delivers on-site CPR, AED, and First Aid training to businesses and organizations across the mid-Atlantic region, with active coverage in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. In parallel with its training services, the company distributes HeartSine automated external defibrillator (AED) hardware as a complementary product line, generating revenue from both per-session training fees and equipment resale.

The operating model is instructor-led and on-site, with courses delivered at client facilities across verticals including dental practices, elder care facilities, schools, physical therapy clinics, and child care centers. The company holds Pennsylvania Quality Assurance System (PQAS) certification and Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) approval, allowing it to issue continuing education credits and serve regulated verticals. Lead capture has shifted partially online through web-based quote-request forms, supplementing the historical referral and field-sales motion.

Cardiac Care & Safety serves more than 1,000 businesses, operates with 11-50 employees under founder/owner Jim Spaulding, and maintains a 5.0 Google rating across 395 reviews with multiple disclosed client relationships spanning 10-20 years. Revenue is generated through training service fees and AED hardware sales, with no subscription or recurring digital revenue component. The commercial profile is that of a stable, relationship-driven regional services business rather than a high-growth or technology-led venture.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• ProTrainings: Online and blended CPR/First Aid certification provider with a national instructor footprint. Comparable to Cardiac Care & Safety because it serves the same small-business and healthcare training market with a more scalable digital delivery model, representing a competitive threat.
• MedTrainer: Compliance and training SaaS platform for healthcare providers, offering CPR/ BLS and OSHA training modules. Comparable to Cardiac Care & Safety because it increasingly targets the same dental/clinical compliance buyers with a more digital/scalable model.

Direct peers

• AED Superstore: Direct-to-customer AED retailer carrying Philips, ZOLL, HeartSine, and Defibtech brands. Comparable to Cardiac Care & Safety because it competes in the same AED hardware sales channel Cardiac Care & Safety serves, often bundled with training.
• CPR Certification Plus: Regional on-site CPR/AED/First Aid training provider operating across multiple U.S. markets. Comparable to Cardiac Care & Safety because it offers the same on-site, instructor-led delivery model for similar enterprise and healthcare clients.
• Health & Safety Institute (HSI): Training and certification company offering CPR/AED/First Aid/BLS through a network of authorized instructors. Comparable to Cardiac Care & Safety because it operates the same instructor-led on-site model for the same regulated workforce segments (healthcare, dental, industrial, childcare).

Broad incumbents

• American Red Cross (Training Services): One of the largest CPR/AED/First Aid training providers in the U.S., offering both classroom and blended learning. Comparable to Cardiac Care & Safety because they target the same enterprise and individual buyers with overlapping certification programs.
• ZOLL Medical Corporation: Major medical device manufacturer producing AED Plus and AED Pro defibrillators, with an associated training ecosystem. Comparable to Cardiac Care & Safety because it competes in the same AED hardware + training solution category, but at manufacturer scale rather than regional training-firm scale.
• American Heart Association (ECC Programs): National authority on CPR, BLS, and AED training curricula, with a vast network of authorized training centers. Comparable because they deliver the same core CPR/First Aid/BLS content Cardiac Care & Safety teaches, but at vastly larger scale and through a franchise/instructor-affiliate model.

Others

• HeartSine Technologies: Manufacturer of Samaritan PAD AEDs and Cardiac Care & Safety's exclusive AED hardware supplier (owned by Stryker). Comparable as a peer because they share customer overlap in the AED market and Cardiac Care & Safety functions as one of their regional distribution/training partners.

Regional players

• In-Pulse CPR: Regional on-site CPR/AED/First Aid training provider operating in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast U.S. Comparable to Cardiac Care & Safety because it offers nearly identical on-site instructor-led services, and competes directly in the Pennsylvania and surrounding markets.
