What are people saying about “Heart Attack?”

Congressman James McGovern - "It's not somebody lecturing young people about how many calories are in a carrot. This is a fun way to learn about how to keep yourself healthy."

Worcester Public Schools Health Director Colleen O'Brien - "Anytime you can make learning fun is a great win-win situation."

Barbara Conti, Quabbin Regional School District - “At our nurses meeting today the nurse at Hardwick told us how much the grade 4, 5 and 6 students enjoy playing the heart game. The PE teachers use it with them. The kids even came up with a variation to talk about cholesterol. They are learning the correct names for all the health issues. She was very enthusiastic.”

Maureen Widing BSN, Quabbin Regional School District - “I am a school nurse at the High/Middle school. I have the game up and running all the time. The ‘players’ are the two nurses and when there is time in the day we ask the kids to ‘save us’ from bad health choices. The game has been doing more than teaching about heart health, it also gets us engaged more with the kids in a fun way and leads to more interaction with them.”

Health and Physical Education Department, Worcester Public School System - “One teacher used the game in a Summer School Program. Students in grades 5 and 6 enjoyed the game very much. Students look forward to playing and are excited to play. It has good reinforcement and is a great compliment to the 6th grade unit on the circulatory system.”

Julie Langevin
Health Teacher, North Attleboro Middle School - We teach a nutrition unit followed by the effects eating has on our heart, so this game would be perfect. I look forward to the prospect of using the game in my classrooms.

Liz Makins
Associate Project Manager, Obesity Initiatives
Cause Initiatives and Integrated Marketing
American Heart Association
National Center - Congratulations on your accomplishment of creating something so rewarding! Thanks for sharing your game with us and your commitment to educate the public about this important issue.

Matthew Bannister
Senior Vice President
Advocacy, Communications, Health Initiatives
American Heart Association - "We certainly do applaud your efforts to educate kids and adults through the Heart Attack game."

James McKenney, Senior Research Associate in Pathology - Heart Attack is an innovative and creative addition to the world of games.
It is an excellent educational tool to convey scientifically accurate issues concerning ones cardiac health. I think what makes this game so great is that it’s just plain fun to play!

P. David Jarry, M.D., M.B.A. - Associate Medical Director, Division of Drug Utilization - Education is the best form of prevention, and this is the best educational tool I have encountered! Wholesome family entertainment; solid accurate advice, and quite simply, "tons of fun" for all ages!  I recommend this game to anyone with children and to anyone who wants to know more about the value of sound health advice. Learning about important health topics has never been so much fun!

Mary Sienna - This game is not only educational but it keeps the kids busy for hours.  They never seem to tire of the game and say its always different each time they play.  I’m sure they’re learning more this way than conventional methods.

Group of local psychologists play testing the game - After the game, we went out for a bite to eat while we compared notes and reviewed the game. "We found ourselves thinking about the game when we looked at the menu. We ordered food and drink we thought would be healthier. The fact that the game influenced our decision making was impressive. Any teaching tool that stays with you even after you leave it behind is a winner!"
