Did you know that over 356,000 people suffer from sudden cardiac arrest very year? The longer it takes for help to arrive, the lower the chances of survival.

In fact, for every minute that passes following a SCA event, the victim’s chance of survival decreases by approximately 10%. This means that a survival rate of only 5%-10% is expected if immediate action isn’t taken to save a life.

By learning CPR and how to use an AED, you can increase the chances of survival to a staggering 74%. You have the power to make a difference and be the key to saving a life. Get certified today and be ready to save a life wherever you go.
