Why Learn CPR?
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the U.S. It can happen to anyone at any time without warning. Nearly 92% of victims die before reaching a hospital, but effective bystander CPR can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival. Unfortunately only 32% of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from a bystander. Together we can change these statistics.
