Working on manikins helps individuals learn how far they must compress the chest to keep the blood flowing-CPR Blitz 2010
Did you know that more than 80% of heart attacks occur in the home? Do you know what to do when someone near your suffers from a heart attack?
Last February, during American Heart Month, over 600 individuals from throughout the Yakima Valley came together to learn valuable life saving lessons in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs). Participants included new parents, young families, school teachers, middle and high school students, grandparents and seniors caring for each other at home. Everyone who participated was given the training and tools, and asked to teach this lifesaving skill to at least five other people.
In 2012, our goal is to teach another 1,000 members of our community the new, hands-only CPR as well as how to use an AED. We are again asking them to share this knowledge with others.
Please join us and help our community be prepared to save a life.
