Get Trained and Save a Life
Portable AED/Home Defibrillator
Folks this is important Information
National CPR and AED Awareness Week is June 1-7 and spotlights
how lives can be saved if more Americans know CPR and how to use an
Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
During the week of June 1-7, Red Cross chapters across the country
will conduct CPR/AED classes, demonstrations, and events to raise
awareness on the importance of CPR and AED training. It is especially
important to arm yourself with the ability to save lives by getting
trained in CPR and the proper use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Make a commitment to get trained before the summer begins!
Your local Red Cross chapter can give you the training you need to be
ready to respond in an emergency situation with skills that can save a
life through CPR and AED programs.
"The vision of the American Red Cross is
that at least one person in every household (or business location) be
trained in life-saving first aid, CPR, and defibrillator use, and that
every American be within 4 minutes of a defibrillator". For that reason
many families are buying their own defibrillator and keeping it at home
for quick response within that 4 minute period. It saves lives!
