Joe Farrell, Alex Presciutti, PhD, Mary Newman, Sarah Perman, MD, and Steve Ogilvie presented an overview of the Cardiac Arrest Survivor Alliance (CASA), SCAF's online community for cardiac arrest survivors, co-survivors, lay rescuers, and advocates. Farrell and Ogilvie described their lived experiences as survivors and their survivorship journeys. Presciutti, Perman, and Newman described the research behind CASA, its status, and its benefits.
