Nine out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed, but this can be changed, and the American Heart Association (heart.org) is here to help.
Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, on athletic fields and in neighborhoods everywhere, and the readiness of the community can be the difference between life and death.
It’s time to unite, take action and save lives. The American Heart Association’s goal is to have one person in every household confident and prepared to perform CPR. The American Heart Association invites YOU to join the Heart Walk to broaden its impact by turning bystanders into lifesavers. The Heart Walk is set for May 10 at 8:30 a.m. in Antelope Park.
