The first week of June is CPR and AED awareness week! 🙌💓

You have the ability to save a life if someone goes into cardiac arrest. Hands-Only CPR takes two simple steps:
1. Call 9-1-1
2. Press hard and fast in the center of the victim's chest until first responders arrive. Keep your compressions around 120 beats per minute - the beat of the song "Stayin' Alive."

When a person has a cardiac arrest, their survival depends on immediate CPR from someone around them. Take 90 seconds to learn Hands-Only CPR today!

It is National CPR and AED Awareness Week. With just your hands and quick thinking, you could save a life.
