🚨 Would you know what to do in a cardiac emergency? 🚨

According to a recent American Red Cross survey, 8 out of 10 people believe it’s important to know CPR and how to use an AED — yet only 1 in 4 Americans feel confident enough to actually perform CPR or use an AED in an emergency.

Every year in the U.S., more than 300,000 people suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and 60–80% do not survive long enough to reach the hospital. In those critical moments, immediate action can mean the difference between life and death.

💓 Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, at any time — at home, at work, at the gym, or in public spaces. Every minute without CPR and defibrillation decreases a person’s chance of survival by 7–10%. When CPR and an AED are used within the first few minutes, survival rates can double or even triple.

Many bystanders hesitate to help because they fear doing something wrong or simply don’t know what to do. That’s why CPR and AED training is so important.

AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are often located in visible public areas such as:
✔️ Airports
✔️ Schools
✔️ Gyms
✔️ Shopping malls
✔️ Office buildings

They are commonly found near entrances, elevators, security desks, cafeterias, and main hallways in clearly marked cabinets.

Knowing how to quickly locate and use an AED could save the life of a friend, family member, coworker — or even a stranger.

❤️ Gain the skills and confidence to act when seconds matter.
