CPR - 99        Cardio-Pulmonary Resusitation

The American Heart Association CPR Classes are to educate individuals on how to save a life. Cardiac arrest is sudden and often there are no warning signs. The classes are designed to deliver a dynamic message of hope, and that is to save lives. American Heart Association CPR Classes are for everyone, and everyone should enroll in a course. Statistics show that among the American population, 70% may not respond during 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, as many individuals watch helplessly as someone dies.
