Empowered to Learn the Warning Signs of a Heart Attack

Learn the warning signs of a heart attack and why it’s important to call 911 immediately.

About every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a heart attack. Some people having a heart attack wait before getting help. Some people feel it would be embarrassing to have a “false alarm.” Others are so afraid of having a heart attack that they tell themselves they aren’t having one.

This lesson helps empower communities by increasing awareness about heart attacks and steps to take in the event of a medical emergency. Participants learn that whatever the health emergency is not to wait to call 911. This lesson also encourages everyone to take steps to reduce their risk for heart disease.
