We provide clear, respectful explanations and resources that empower you to manage your health. 📌 Tip: Always feel comfortable asking questions like "What does that mean?" or "Can you show me how that works?" When you understand your care plan, you're more likely to feel more confident in your treatment. #HealthLiteracyMonth #UnderstandYourHealth #PatientEmpowerment #TeamSOH

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can happen without warning—and without immediate action, it can be fatal within minutes. October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month, and it's a critical time to learn CPR and understand what to do in a cardiac emergency. 💓 SCA is not the same as a heart attack—it's an electrical malfunction that causes the heart to stop beating. 🚑 Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces survival chances by 7–10%. 📍 We offer CPR training classes and community workshops to equip you with life-saving skills. Because when someone's heart stops, you could be their heartbeat. #SCAMonth #CPRSavesLives #HeartSmart #TeamSOH
