What we support

ECG Screening for California Youth

Advocate for Better Prevention Standards

Advocate for Better Prevention Standards

 California screening foundations have formed a coalition to engage schools in an initiative to provide preventative heart screening to our state’s youth. The California Department of Education supports this initiative and encourages LEAs to prioritize sudden cardiac arrest prevention by hosting these school-based heath events.


While sudden cardiac arrest doesn’t discriminate amongst its victims, disparities in health equity do not afford all youth the same standard of care. With diminishing health curriculum in schools, screenings help schools fulfill a critical role in promoting the health and safety of young people and establishing lifelong behavior that will impact their future workplaces, families and communities.

Call Push Shock National Movement

Youth Heart Screening Across the State

Call Push Shock National Movement

CALL-PUSH-SHOCK is a national collaborative movement with a mission to motivate BYSTANDER CPR/AED action and increase sudden cardiac arrest survival.


Launched jointly by the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation and Parent Heart Watch in June 2018 and now endorsed by the CDC, the movement recognizes that immediate emergency intervention with hands-only CPR and the nearest automated external defibrillator (AED) can significantly increase survival beyond the mere 10% where it's been stuck for three decades.


CALL: Follow 911 instructions


PUSH: Hard and fast on the center of the chest 100-120 times/minute


SHOCK: Follow AED's audio/visual instructions—you can’t hurt the victim, only help
