Why Learn CPR?
Be Prepared
You never know when you will need CPR. Of the 300,000 people who suffer cardiac arrest in the U.S. each year, 80% are not in a hospital, but are in their homes or workplaces and can appear healthy and happy minutes before.
Save Lives
Only about 1 out of every 4 cardiac arrest victims receive CPR, and as a result, most die. If these people receive CPR immediately after cardiac arrest, it can double or even triple their chances of survival.
Be a Hero
Learning CPR could be the best thing that you ever do for your grandparent, friend, or a stranger on the street. By dedicating yourself for one hour to learning this skill, you can be prepared to be a hero to someone in need.
Build your Resumé
If you've ever dreamed of helping people as a career, learning this type of rescue skill will prepare you to be a future nurse, doctor, EMT, lifeguard, or one of the many other professions that require you to know CPR.
