Week 1: CPR and AED Awareness Week

No matter where your summer plans take you, you can make sure you’re prepared and confident to help save a life if necessary. Below are some important facts to keep in mind: 

• More than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually in the United States, with 90% resulting in death.
• Administering CPR and using an AED (automated external defibrillator) immediately can double or even triple a person's chances of surviving a cardiac arrest.
• Become familiar with the location of the nearest AED at your workplace.
