SCAD Heart Attack Awareness Week© is February 16-22. This is the perfect week to spread the word about spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). Wondering what can you do to raise awareness about SCAD?
Here are a few ideas:
- Contact your local newspapers & radio/TV stations, introduce yourself and offer to tell them your story.
- Submit your story online to local news outlets
- Participate in the SCAD Awareness Challenge – watch our Facebook page, X (Twitter) and Instagram for a different challenge posted each day Feb. 16-22
- Post your story on social media
- Post our brochures on social media or email/text etc. We have brochures for the general public, medical professionals and EMTs/First Responders
- Update your profile picture on social media with our SCAD Heart Attack Awareness Week picture
- Order SCAD items from our SCAD Store and wear them proudly
Fortunately, more people know about SCAD than ever before but there are still many who have not heard about SCAD until it impacts their family. You can help change that equation.
