CPR and AED Awareness Week
June 1 - 7

Heroes aren't born. They're trained.

Each year an estimated 166,000 lives are claimed by Sudden Cardiac Arrest, an electronic malfunction that causes rapid and chaotic heart activity.

  • Only about 6% of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest victims survive.

  • Fewer than 1/3 of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR.

  • Effective CPR can DOUBLE or TRIPLE survival rates.

  • A recent AHA survey shows few Americans are confident they could actually perform CPR and use an AED to help save a life in an emergency cardiac situation.

Please Visit the American Heart Association web site for further information.
