June 1st-7th is National CPR and AED Awareness Week. Red Heart Training is pleased to support the American Heart Association and its important mission to increase survival from cardiac arrest. If you are not already certified, we are asking everyone to please take 90 seconds of your day to learn the lifesaving skills of Hands-Only CPR.

In 2007, the AHA in coalition with the American Red Cross and the National Safety Council worked collaboratively to designate a National CPR and AED Awareness Week federally. On December 13, 2007, Congress unanimously passed a resolution to set aside June 1-7 each year as National CPR and AED Awareness Week to spotlight how lives can be saved if more Americans know CPR and how to use an AED. Did you know about 70 percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in homes? If you are called on to give CPR in an emergency, you will most likely be trying to save the life of someone you love. Be the difference for your parent, spouse, or child. What if it were them?
