On April 26, 2019 at the 4th Annual SaveMiHeart Conference, this extraordinary 9-year-old young man, Lucas Vetters shared is mission and goals to provide a LUCAS device to each fire station in Livingston County and eventually to each station within the State of Michigan.  During the conference, Lucas was able to meet conference speaker Dr. Hans Friberg from LUND University in Sweden, who worked with the inventor on the LUCAS device.  Conference attendees were truly inspired by this young man.
