Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere. Immediate CPR and defibrillation can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival.
Yet nearly 70% of cardiac arrests happen at home, and only about 40% of people receive bystander CPR before EMS arrives.
This week is a call to action:
🔸Learn Hands-Only CPR — no mouth-to-mouth required
🔸Know where AEDs are located in your community
🔸Encourage CPR training at work, school, or with local organizations
