WASHINGTON, DC - The Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Foundation is proud to announce the opening of an affiliate that will encompass the District of Columbia, Northern Virginia and Maryland.

The Metro DC Affiliate of the SCA Foundation is headquartered in Alexandria, VA. The new Metro DC Affiliate will focus on raising awareness, enhancing the SCA Survivor Network, and continuing to spread the word about the importance of early CPR and easy access to automated external defibrillators (AEDs).

The Metro DC Affiliate will especially focus on reaching out to schools in the area. It is essential that CPR be taught to students in school and that AEDs are in every single school. The DC Affiliate will also begin expanding the SCA Foundation’s support of schools and visiting colleges in the area to raise awareness.

All inquiries regarding the Metro DC Affiliate should be directed to Matthew Strauss, Coordinator.
