Every Second Counts. Be the Difference.

Cardiac arrest can strike without warning—350,000 Americans experience it every year, including 10,000 right here in Michigan. Yet, survival remains shockingly low: only 1 in 10 survive to hospital discharge.
 

The solution? YOU.

Bystanders Save Lives

When a bystander steps in to give CPR, survival can double. If an AED is used, survival can be even higher. Yet…
 

  • Only 42% of cardiac arrests get bystander CPR.

  • Only 11% involve AED use.
     

We can—and must—do better.

The Chain of Survival

Cardiac arrest survival starts before reaching a hospital. Community members are the first and most vital link in this life-saving chain:
 

  1. Recognize Sudden Cardiac Arrest

  2. Call 911 Immediately

  3. Start Hands-Only CPR

  4. Use an AED if available
     

Your action can determine if someone even makes it to the ER.
