LEARN CPR

In the moments after a person suffers a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), bystanders like you play the most critical role in determining the survival of the victims – more than paramedics, more than doctors and nurses. Why?

  • Three men practice bystander CPR on simulation

    Unlike a heart attack...

    The victim’s heart has stopped beating and no blood is circulating to the vital organs, especially the brain.

  • Volunteers learn bystander CPR

    Studies show...

    For every minute of delay before starting CPR, survival rates decrease by 10%

  • Chicago Police Department learns bystander CPR

    Waiting is not an option...

    As the minutes tick by, the chances of a victim dying or suffering permanent brain damage increase.
