Did you know that recognizing the signs of sudden cardiac arrest and acting quickly can save a life?
When every second counts, knowing how to respond matters. February is Heart Month, an important time to raise awareness about simple, life saving steps like calling 9 1 1, starting CPR, and using an Automated External Defibrillator.
