Part of the mission of the Nashville PAD Program is to recognize those who have acted in a time to need to help save a life using CPR and an AED. Here are some of the recipients of our past awards.

David Nollner and the Metro Nashville Airport Authority: Nollner received the AHA Heart Saver Award will a representative of the airport authority was the recipient of the PAD Program's Action Award in April 2007, because the airport, with 30 AEDs and a team of officers prepared to use them, has saved some seven lives since they instituted a PAD Program. In some cases (see below) citizens did the save.
