CPR
anytime kits still available
Each year, cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac arrest claim the lives
of 325,000 Americans before they reach a hospital.
Almost 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and are witnessed by a
family member. Currently the survival rate of cardiac arrest victims is
approximately 6.4 percent.
If a cardiac arrest happened to your loved one or a close friend, would you
know how to perform life-saving CPR, which can double a victim’s chance of
survival? Surprisingly, the vast majority of Americans don’t. That’s why
College Park Fire Rescue and the American Heart Association have partnered
together to distribute the Family & Friends CPR Anytime Personal Learning
Kits to our community, to bring CPR training into the homes of families
everywhere.
The Family & Friends CPR Anytime Personal Learning Program allows families,
friends and the general public – those who most likely would never attend a
traditional CPR course – to learn the core skills of CPR in just 32 minutes
using their own personal kit. The kit contains everything needed to learn
basic CPR, and skills can be learned anywhere, from the comfort of a family
home to a large community group setting.
Visit College Park Fire Station 1 for your Kit today!
