Hands-Only CPR — Anyone can do it. Everyone should!
June 1-7 marks National CPR and AED Awareness Week, and we at OWL VFD are proud to support the American Heart Association in their mission to increase survival rates from cardiac arrest. We urge everyone in our community to take just 90 seconds out of their day to learn the lifesaving skills of Hands-Only CPR.
Did you know that 70 percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in homes? It’s a sobering statistic. But it also means that if you ever find yourself in an emergency situation, you might be the crucial link to saving the life of someone you love—a co-worker, spouse, parent, child, or friend.
In just 90 seconds, you can learn the two simple steps of Hands-Only CPR. We encourage you to click the link below to watch the Hands-Only CPR video and equip yourself with this invaluable knowledge.
