In her years of experience, Gwen has seen so many wonderful advances in technology including the pulse ox, ECMO, 3D, echo, CT, MRI, and transplants, advances in knowledge, and greatly improved outcomes and survival rates. 
In this episode, Gwen Fosse, RN will share with Anna what SCA is, who is affected, what Project A.D.A.M. is, and what people can do to be #READY to help someone who might have an SCA. Let’s work together to prevent Sudden Cardiac Death!
