Did you know that only 1 in 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest out of the hospital survive?
Region 10 is teaming up with the American Heart Association to save lives by getting as many people as possible trained in hands-only CPR. It only takes 60 seconds to learn how to respond when someone is experiencing cardiac arrest. Join this lifesaving campaign and become a Heartbeat Hero!
