New locations for AEDs coming soon. AEDs+CPR=life saving.
Learn CPR from me for free. I lead CPR classes to get the skill out to others so we can save a life.

In 2008 the 110th Congress of the United States declared October to be National Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness month in an effort to educate the public about warning signs, risk factors and what to do in a cardiac emergency.

Chances of survival are better with quick access to an AED and CPR (done to the beat of the song Staying Alive by the Bee Gees)

Heart attack is when a person has a blockage in a vein. The heart is still beating and the person is conscious a lot of the time. Sudden cardiac arrest or also referred to as sudden cardiac death is when the heart quits beating because of an electrical issue with the heart, the person has no heart beat, is not breathing and is unconscious.
An AED along with CPR are required to save someone from sudden cardiac arrest.
