Be a Get the PulsePoint lifesav save a life SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST (SCA) is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths. For every minute that passes before help arrives, SCA survival odds decrease by 7 to 10 percent. The PulsePoint app alerts CPR-trained bystanders to a cardiac emergency in nearby public areas so they can get to the scene and start CPR right away. The PulsePoint app is like Amber Alert for SCA victims. Faith Regional is proud to partner with the city of Norfolk to bring PulsePoint to our community. Thank you to all who sponsored and attended Faith Regional’s Game of Hearts Casino Night last August to help make this initiative possible.

Get alerted to sudden cardiac arrests in your immediate vicinity so that you can start CPR in the critical lifesaving minutes before emergency teams arrive. 8 FAITH REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES
