Henry Judah Heimlich (1920-2016) was an American thoracic surgeon and medical researcher who is widely credited as the inventor of the Heimlich maneuver, a technique first introduced in 1974 as a way to prevent food choking. The Maneuver was widely implemented by both the American Red Cross and American Heart Association as a primary first aid technique to clear victims' obstructed airways between 1976 and 2005. Today, additional methods are also acknowledged including back blows and chest thrusts, with the term "Heimlich Maneuver" more generally referred to as "abdominal thrusts."

Dr. Alfred J. Kaiser (1919-2003), a physician and anesthesiologist, was a Harvard graduate who received a degree in Medicine as a general practitioner. After joining in the United States Army during World War II, he would settle in Hatfield, MA where he would dutifully serve the surrounding community for decades to come.
