❤️ June is CPR & AED Awareness Month ❤️

Knowing how to perform CPR and use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can help save a life during a cardiac emergency.

When cardiac arrest occurs, every second counts. Immediate CPR and early defibrillation can significantly improve a person's chance of survival.

Consider taking a CPR class, refreshing your skills, or learning where AEDs are located in your workplace, school, and community.

You never know when you may be someone's best chance at survival.
