According to the American Heart Association, sudden cardiac arrest can strike anyone, anywhere and a victim's survival depends on the people around them. More than 92 percent of people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the home die from it.
"Training more people to perform CPR increases survival by enabling more bystanders to handle an emergency," said Nancy Blair, R.N, Training Center Coordinator. "CPR training is critical to saving lives."
