Event Details

When a person goes into Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), their survival depends on immediately getting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from someone nearby. 88% of all cardiac arrests occur at home or at work, so the chances of you knowing the person are very high.

According to the American Heart Association, nationwide less than 1/3 of those who suffer cardiac arrest at home, work, or in a public place receive CPR. As a result 400,000 people die each year in the U.S. Often, it’s because bystanders don’t know CPR!
