Building a Heart Safe Community

Sudden Cardiac Arrest is not a heart attack or a stroke or any other form of coronary heart disease that can be treated with diet, exercise, surgery or medication. When you suffer a Sudden Cardiac Arrest, your heart suddenly stops. You lose consciousness. In 95% of such incidences, you die. This is called Sudden Cardiac Death. After 10 minutes your chances for survival are less than 1%. The national average response time from the time you place a 911 call to the time the paramedics arrive is 10 minutes. Defibrillation can't wait for the ambulance to arrive.

The annual Breakfast Rotary Golf Tournament and Crab Feed held each fall  helps this club raise valuable resources that will help us purchase and place these units in public places.
