Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere. When someone close by steps in, survival chances can double or even triple.

You don’t need medical training to save a life with CPR. You need knowledge, courage and willingness to act. The power is in your hands. #NationOfLifesavers #CPRweek

“At 6 o 'clock in the morning, my husband received a phone call, a work call. And that awoke him, so thankfully he was able to hear me take my final breath.”

Stephanie Austin, then 35, was in her prime when she had a cardiac arrest.

Her husband Matt, an orthopedic surgeon, heard her gasp and called her name, but she didn’t respond. He rolled her over and saw Stephanie’s face was blue.

He called 911 and performed CPR until help arrived.

AEDs save lives, and you don’t need medical training to use one. In a cardiac emergency, call 911 and follow the AED’s prompts to help restart a heart. You have the power to save a life. #CPRWeek #NationOfLifesavers

[GoRedforWomen @GoRedForWomen]

CPR isn’t just a medical skill. In a cardiac emergency, anyone can be the difference before professional help arrives.

Parents, caregivers, neighbors, coworkers and friends are often the true first responders. When more people are ready, more lives are saved. If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest.

Emilee Sparks, now 19, went into cardiac arrest on November 4, 2024, during her senior year of high school. She was saved by the school nurses, who performed CPR and grabbed an AED.

Cardiac arrest does not discriminate. You don’t need a family history of heart disease to be at risk — or to save a life. Knowing CPR and how to use an AED could make you someone’s hero.

Today, lawmakers begin marking up the FY27 Labor-HHS funding bill.

During CPR & AED Awareness Week, Congress has a clear opportunity: fully fund the HEARTS Act and help schools save lives.

Preparedness should not be left up to chance.

Learn Hands-Only CPR in 43 seconds!

Saving a life with CPR takes knowledge, courage and the willingness to act, but you don’t need to be a medical professional. Anyone can be a hero. Watch and learn the two simple steps of Hands-Only CPR. #NationofLifesavers #CPRWeek

[GoRedforWomen @GoRedForWomen]

Women are less likely to receive bystander CPR due to fear, myths and misconceptions. We must do more to save women's lives.

Be ready to perform Hands-Only CPR whenever you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, even if they are a woman. There are just two steps:

1. Call 911.
2. Push hard and fast on the center of the chest at a rate of 100-120 compressions per-minute until help arrives.
