October Is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month—Here Is How to Get Involved

Every October, people across the country come together to raise awareness about Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)—a leading cause of death worldwide. Despite its prevalence, many people do not realize how sudden and life-threatening SCA can be, or how simple CPR training can dramatically improve survival rates.

At Health Solutions of America, we are proud to support this important cause and help equip everyday heroes with the skills to save lives through CPR training.

What Is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

Sudden Cardiac Arrest occurs when the heart unexpectedly stops beating, cutting off blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Without immediate action, death can occur within minutes. But with fast CPR and the use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator), survival chances can double or triple.

Why October Matters

October is recognized nationally as Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month. It is a time to educate communities, workplaces, and families on how to respond to cardiac emergencies.

The goal is to increase CPR training, AED availability, and public knowledge so more people are prepared to take action when it matters most.
