WSMV 4, Nashville did a great job putting this together and showcasing the community hero’s that stepped up to save a life! It’s why we are so passionate about advocating for CPR & AED Training!

A Murfreesboro man is grateful to his coworkers at Elder's Ace Hardware after he says they saved his life when he collapsed behind the register and went into cardiac arrest.

“Every day is not enough. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for them. I wouldn’t be. So every day is never going to be enough. They know I mean it from my heart. They know me, but me internally, I don’t feel like I can ever tell them enough.”

*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ***

Local Employees Honored After Saving Coworker’s Life with CPR and an AED at Elder’s Ace Hardware.

Murfreesboro, TN — April 22, 2026

A group of local employees at Elder’s Ace Hardware were recognized last week for their heroic actions that helped save the life of a coworker during a sudden cardiac emergency.

During a special Community Lifesaving Recognition Ceremony hosted by Code One Safety, six employees were honored for stepping in immediately when their coworker, Chris Wells, suffered a cardiac event at work.

Before emergency responders arrived, the employees took decisive action—calling for help, performing CPR, and using an automated external defibrillator (AED). Their quick response proved lifesaving.

Because of their actions, Chris survived—and was present at the ceremony to personally thank those who helped save his life.

Those recognized included:
• Sam Henson
• Joel Edmondson
• Doug LaRusso
• Caitlyn Cavanaugh
• Anna Lindsey
• Taylor Black

“This is what community looks like,” said Karl Daigle, Owner of Code One Safety. “When cardiac arrest happens, it’s the people already there who make the difference. These individuals didn’t hesitate—they acted, and because of that, a life was saved.”

The ceremony, held inside Elder’s Ace Hardware, brought together coworkers, community members, and local supporters to recognize the importance of CPR training and emergency preparedness.

“Lives are not just saved in hospitals,” Karl Daigle added. “They are saved by everyday people who are willing to step forward in critical moments.”

The event also served as a reminder of the vital role CPR training and AED access play in improving survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest.

We’re proud to support organizations across Middle Tennessee in creating safer environments for the people they serve.

Recently, our team delivered a customized First Aid Kit to a local church—designed specifically with their community in mind. This kit goes beyond the basics and includes critical, life-saving tools such as Narcan, Stop the Bleed kits, a SWAT-T Tourniquets, and a BVM, helping ensure they’re prepared for real emergencies when every second counts.

We also had the opportunity to place new AEDs into service for Middle Tennessee Electric, expanding access to immediate cardiac response equipment for their team and facilities.

❤️ Go Red for Women | National Wear Red Day ❤️
📅 Friday, February 6, 2026

Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of women, yet it’s largely preventable. On National Wear Red Day, we’re standing with the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women® movement to raise awareness, spark conversations, and inspire action.

Wearing red is more than a color choice — it’s a bold statement.
A statement that women’s heart health matters.
A statement that education, prevention, and research save lives.

Join us by:

🔴 Wearing red — clothing, accessories, or even red lipstick
🔴 Sharing your story or honoring someone you love
🔴 Supporting efforts to fight heart disease and stroke

Together, we can help create a future where more women live longer, healthier lives.
