The 2024 CARES Annual Report is here! 🎉 Celebrating 20 years of advancing cardiac arrest survival, this year's report features key data, impactful stories, and our progress in communities across the U.S. Take a look at how CARES is making a difference. https://t.co/haGffQNMpM

Behind every data point is a life saved—and a team that made it possible. Help CARES tell those stories. Submit a survivor story, improvement story, or photo for the 2025 Annual Report: https://t.co/cQuozSnGKD #CARESinAction #MeasureAndImprove #SavingLives

Research using CARES data shows CPR started within 5 minutes can nearly double survival for children after cardiac arrest. Every second matters—quick action saves lives. https://t.co/znY0Pg2Y6N

As Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month ends, CARES celebrates those working every day to save lives. Together, we’re turning awareness into action and improving cardiac arrest survival across the nation.

CARES 2024 data show how bystander CPR (41.7%), AED use (12.6%), and EMS response (6.4 min) strengthen the chain of survival. Every link measured. Every life improved. https://t.co/Nj2yDZotNA

CARES data in JAMA Internal Medicine: Home AEDs improve survival in shockable arrests but aren’t cost-effective for all households. Greatest impact comes from public AEDs + CPR-trained bystanders. https://t.co/CKhsVhQY5V

The 2025 AHA CPR & ECC Guidelines are out, featuring updated recommendations to improve cardiac arrest survival and post-arrest care. CARES data helped inform these national benchmarks for resuscitation and outcomes. https://t.co/blhRiEzm5S

Over 70% of cardiac arrests happen at home, where survival depends on who’s nearby. Be ready to act when it matters most. https://t.co/Nj2yDZotNA

AMR Topeka, a CARES participant, nearly doubled the national cardiac arrest survival rate—proof that teamwork, data, and training save lives when seconds matter.

CARES 2024 data show that only 1/3 of cardiac arrests are witnessed by a bystander & their actions can double or triple survival. During Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month CARES reminds communities that being ready to act can make all the difference. https://t.co/Nj2yDZnVY2

It only takes two steps to save a life. On World Restart a Heart Day, remember: 1️⃣ Call 911 2️⃣ Push hard and fast in the center of the chest Every second counts. Learn more about how CARES supports survival at https://t.co/J4jxFhpCC8

St. Mary’s County expands AED access with 13 new 24/7 units across parks and public spaces—empowering bystanders to act fast when seconds matter. CARES data show early defibrillation can double survival. Learn more:

Only 1 in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest—but early CPR and AED use can raise survival to nearly 38%. CARES data show how fast action saves lives. https://t.co/Nj2yDZnVY2

October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month. SCA can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Quick action, like CPR, can double or triple survival rates. This October, join the #NationofLifesavers by learning or refreshing your CPR skills!

Inspired by Damar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest, Canandaigua now has AEDs in every park. With CPR and early defibrillation, survival can reach 44%, according to CARES. Access saves lives. https://t.co/2zEk0aFfOv

Airports lead the way in bystander CPR and AED use during cardiac arrest, showing what is possible when lifesaving tools are within reach. CARES data are featured as the benchmark for national survival measures.

In 2024, only 41.7% of cardiac arrest patients received bystander CPR, and 12.6% had a bystander AED used in public. Every second counts. https://t.co/7KfOr09XgS

80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home. Would you know what to do if it happened in yours? Protect the people you care about most this #RestartAHeart month by learning the steps to CPR and how to use a defib: https://t.co/P98imP7brj

This month, the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation is kicking off #ReadyToRespond Sudden Cardiac Arrest Training Week—a new initiative bringing CPR and AED training to communities nationwide. Read our newsletter here:
