- Panel 1:
- Visual: Abstract line-art silhouette of a stopped heart inside a giant, dramatically ticking clock.
- Text/Action: 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen every year in the U.S., and 90% are fatal. When the heart stops, time is literally running out!
- Panel 2:
- Visual: A glowing, stylized everyday citizen dramatically rolling up their sleeves, radiating superhero energy.
- Text/Action: But wait—providing immediate CPR can double or even triple a person's chances of survival. You don't need a badge to keep a heart beating.
- Panel 3:
- Visual: A National Fraternal Order of Police officer arriving on the scene, looking completely impressed as the citizen is already flawlessly performing chest compressions.
- Text/Action: The AHA and the Police want YOU to be the first responder until the actual sirens arrive. Help is already in motion!
- Panel 4:
- Visual: The police officer and the citizen doing an epic, meme-style high-five over a bright red, beating heart motif.
- Text/Action: Because saving a life should never be left to chance. Welcome to the Nation of Lifesavers!
