HEALTHCARE FOR LIFE AND SPORT
October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month!
Why Training Week Matters*
-
High Incidence: More than 356,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually in the U.S., and nearly 90% are fatal.
-
Immediate Response Saves Lives: CPR can double or triple survival rates, yet fewer than half of victims receive bystander aid.
-
Close to Home: About 70% of cardiac arrests happen at home — meaning the life you save is most likely that of a loved one.
-
Workplace Safety: An estimated 10,000 cardiac arrests occur at work each year in the U.S.
-
Protecting Students: SCA is the leading cause of death on school campuses.
