Are you ready to make a difference? Join the Nation of Lifesavers by learning Hands-Only CPR at our second CPR Community Day!

This informative and engaging Hands-Only CPR Training is designed for individuals of all skill levels! This essential training is perfect for anyone looking to learn how to save a life in an emergency situation. 350,000 people in the U.S. experience sudden cardiac arrest in the community each year. 90% of those people die. 70% of cardiac arrests that do not happen in the hospital, occur in homes and private residences. CPR, if performed immediately, can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim's chance of survival.

This training is designed to empower you with the knowledge and skills needed to respond confidently in a cardiac emergency. No prior experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided. Who Should Attend: This event is for everyone including those who coach youth sports programs where CPR training could save a life.

For adults and adolescent children, Hands-Only CPR is an easy-to-learn skill that requires only two steps: call 9-1-1 emergency services and push hard and fast in the center of the chest at a rate of 100-120 beats per minute.
