Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) kills more than 325,000 Americans each year. Most deaths from SCA can be prevented with rapid response and treatment. By placing automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in schools and other public areas, victims can receive rapid lifesaving treatment. AEDs and public awareness save lives.

Board members of SCAA-EV will be on hand to answer questions, encourage involvement, as well as to facilitate AED demonstrations and CPR techniques. A new fundraising campaign to help place AED’s in East Valley schools and public access areas will also be unveiled.

SCAA-EV’s members are diverse and include survivors and those that have lost loved ones to SCA, first responders, healthcare and public safety professionals, industry representatives, government officials, and interested and concerned citizens.

The event will be held Saturday, October 24 from 3–5 p.m. at the Val Vista Lakes Community Pro Shop, 1600 East Lakeside Drive, Gilbert. During the open house refreshments, CPR Techniques, AED Demonstrations, Exhibits and Informational Materials will be available.

Mesa resident Dr. Ann Paris defines the word “spry.” She is truly an amazing woman who has inspired countless others through her healthy lifestyle and overall zest for living. This 86-year-old great-great grandmother/former dance instructor/psychologist is a member of the SilverSneakers program at the Mesa YMCA. Fellow classmates call Dr. Paris a “ball of energy,” making everyone feel welcome and at ease. In her “spare time,” she participates in other Y classes.

Dr. Paris was nominated by her fellow SilverSneakers members for the national 2009 Richard L. Swanson Inspiration Award, given each year to one SilverSneakers member who has been touched by the program and inspires others. Dr. Paris was one of the top five nominations from nearly 400 received.
