CPR Classes Are Now Forming, Sign Up Today!
Don’t be a statistic! According to the American Heart Association- 70 % of Americans may feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either do not know how to administer CPR or their training has significantly lapsed. This alarming statistic could hit close to home, because home is exactly where 70% of cardiac arrests occur. Put very simply: The life you save with CPR is most likely to be someone you love.
