Did you know that approximately 800 people suffer cardiac arrest every day in the United States?

Having access to an AED and knowing how to respond can make the difference between life and death.

At SON Community Engagement, we are committed to raising awareness about cardiac health and empowering communities with the knowledge to act in an emergency.

Learn where the AEDs are located in your school, workplace, and community. You never know when you could save a life.

Did you know that severe bleeding can become life-threatening in just minutes?

Knowing how to respond before first responders arrive can make all the difference.

Through SON Community Engagement, we're sharing simple but critical steps from the Stop the Bleed Program.

Take a moment to learn these lifesaving techniques. You never know when you may be the person who makes a difference.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

The Quinnipiac School of Nursing Community Engagement Program recognizes the importance of creating supportive communities where everyone feels seen, valued, and respected.

If you or someone you know needs support, resources are available.

Whether you're celebrating, supporting a loved one, or exploring your own journey, remember that you are not alone.💙

Thanks to the generosity of The Cuno Foundation, In A Heartbeat has been awarded a $10,000 matching grant to support their lifesaving Cardiac Screening Program. ❤️

Now through October, every dollar donated will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $10,000.

That means a $100 donation becomes $200, doubling your impact and helping us screen more students for hidden heart conditions.

To kick off this effort, we're launching a fundraising campaign during CPR & AED Awareness Week (June 1–7) with a goal of raising the full $10,000 match.

Together, we can raise $20,000 to help save lives through early detection and prevention.
