TAKE ACTION

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO TAKE ACTION WITH CPR?
  • Failure to act in a cardiac emergency can lead to unnecessary deaths.
  • Effective bystander CPR provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival, but only 32 percent of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from a bystander.
  • Sadly, less than eight percent of people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital survive.
  • The American Heart Association trains more than 12 million people in CPR annually, to equip Americans with the skills they need to perform bystander CPR.


Some of our staff members are on the road this Saturday teaching life-saving skills to a large group in Orange County.  If you would like us to come to your place of business or home, give us a call to set up a course.
 Next week we have several PHTLS classes, come to HealthPro and earn your certification in Pre Hospital Trauma Life Support. Check out our December schedule at hpec.org for all upcoming classes.
