When Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during an NFL game in January 2023, the Bills medical team used an AED and performed CPR saving Hamlin's life. Since then, Hamlin and Schumer have been working together to create a new federal program to put more AEDs in schools. Now Schumer is launching their final push as he will bring the bipartisan Cardiomyopathy Health Education, Awareness, Research and Training in Schools (HEARTS) Act to the floor for passage so it can become law.
