Sandy Springs Launches Avive’s 4 Minute Community™ Program to Improve Cardiac Arrest Response

The City of Sandy Springs is proud to announce the launch Avive Solutions, Inc. 4 Minute Community™ Program -- an innovative, approach designed to transform the way sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is addressed in the community.

The program aims to close the gap between the onset of cardiac arrest and the arrival of professional emergency responders. By leveraging historical data on Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in specific areas, the initiative will equip CPR-trained citizen volunteers in the City of Sandy Springs with Avive Connect AEDs, advanced and connected defibrillators.

“The goal is to strengthen the links between the Chain of Survival with Avive’s new technology and deliver lifesaving therapy with an AED to someone in cardiac arrest within four minutes of dispatch from 911,” said Sandy Springs Fire Chief Keith Sanders. “The addition of these devices will have a direct impact on increasing the survival rates of cardiac arrest, and I’m incredibly proud to launch this innovative life-saving initiative.”
