Knowing CPR can be the difference between life and death in a cardiac emergency. Sadly, less than 10 percent of the time does someone having an out of hospital cardiac arrest receive any help. Be ready to act and empower students and staff with the power to know what to do in in an emergency. Anyone can help save a life.
