Summary: FACT: Cardiac arrest remains a public health crisis. There are more than 356,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) annually in the U.S., nearly 90% of them fatal. *according to The American Heart Association, Heart and Stroke Statistics - 2022 Update report That's a daunting statistic and one that can feel especially personal if you or someone you love has experienced cardiac arrest. And for our guest, Claire Larson, it is personal. She joins us today to share her story of surviving cardiac arrest, her recovery and ongoing journey after receiving a heart transplant, and the advice she would give to others facing similar challenges. Claire also talks about donor advocacy, and why she believes that organ donation is such an important cause. Claire's story is one of hope, resilience, and courage, and we are so grateful that she shared it with us. We hope you enjoy this conversation.
