About the session
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest impacts over 350,000 people in the U.S. every year, yet survival rates remain stubbornly low despite the installation of millions of AEDs nationwide. Traditional AED programs often fail to close the critical gap between emergency onset and early defibrillation.
Join us on Tuesday, September 16, 2025 at 5pm EST and hear from public safety leaders, early adopters, and innovators who are rethinking cardiac arrest response in their respective communities. In this live webinar, we’ll introduce the 4 Minute Community (4MC), an innovative, community-wide approach to saving lives from cardiac arrest. Join us as we explore how the program aims to break down silos, integrate technology, and mobilize neighbors to step up when it matters most.
What you’ll learn
- Why traditional AED programs fall short, and how communities can take a holistic approach to cardiac arrest survival.
- The building blocks of a 4MC: from police departments, to schools, to 911 integrated lifesaving devices.
- Avive’s Intelligent Response™ and consultative approach to understanding out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in your community.
- How cities like McKinney, TX, Parker County, CO and Forsyth County, GA are seeing results.
- Practical steps to get started – funding, stakeholder buy in, Avive’s community assessment
Why attend
Whether you work in law enforcement, education or healthcare, this session will give you the knowledge and tools to bring the 4MC vision to your community.
