IUP Institute for Rural Health and SafetySouth Campus Trailers The American Heart Association is dedicated to reducing the number of deaths caused by cardiovascular disease and stroke. They do this by training people on how to use CPR to save the life of someone under cardiac arrest. The American Heart Association offers a variety of CPR classes for everyone, not just for medical professionals. As many as 400,000 people in the US will suffer from cardiac arrest this year. The majority of these individuals will die before even reaching the hospital. It is a fact that if more people were trained in CPR, the number of survivors could double or triple. Statistics show that among the American population, 70% may not even respond to a cardiac arrest emergency because they are uneducated and do not know how to apply the lifesaving techniques of CPR. This is a sad statistic, and the American Heart Association’s mission is to improve these numbers. By getting CPR certified, we embrace the American Heart Association’s motto: “Learn and Live.” American Heart Association CPR
The classes teach students to save the lives of infants, children, and adults. Without knowing how to perform CPR, individuals cannot take action, and lives are lost. Each year, the American Heart Association trains over 12 million people, making them one of the largest and most reputable organizations for CPR certification.
