Take Heart St. Cloud Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Survivor’s Network
MISSION
To prevent the loss of life from Sudden Cardiac Arrest through implementation of the four Take Heart St. Cloud initiatives to provide SCA advocacy and awareness; to provide support to people affected by SCA.
VALUES
FRIENDSHIP
We believe that people who have survived SCA can find comfort, encouragement, and motivation from getting to know others who have had the same experience.
COMPASSION
We are passionately committed to serving the needs of all people who have experienced SCA or have the potential to become victims of SCA, and their loved ones.
COLLABORATION
We believe that we can be most effective by having survivors and ambassadors work side-by-side. We also seek meaningful and productive partnerships with other organizations.
EMPOWERMENT
We believe that networking and shared awareness of advocacy work empowers survivors to tell their stories and educate others about SCA and the need for better prevention and treatment.
RESPONSIBILITY
We will strive to create plans that are quantifiable and measurable, and we will frequently and openly share our progress with our members and stakeholders.
VISION
To live in a world where:
- all people recognize SCA, know how to respond, and have access to appropriate and effective care
- emergency medical services and in-hospital medical care is available in a timely and integrated manner and
- all survivors of SCA get the support they need and encouragement to become advocates for the cause.
