Last week we had the privilege of teaching CPR, AED use, and choking first aid to the upper school at American Martyrs. We are so thankful for all of the volunteer first responders, nurses, and doctors who help with this program every year with special shout out to school nurse, Liz Allyn. We are honored to also have Jim Lowrey as our guest speaker. Jim, a former AMS dad, suffered a cardiac arrest in his home 4 years ago and because of the courageous intervention and initiation of CPR by his two sons, he is alive today. Since starting this CPR program at AMS, we have had one other student who has used the skills he learned during the course on a family member who suffered an in-home cardiac arrest. Some important stats from the American Heart Association to keep in mind:
❤️nearly 1,000 people suffer from an out of hospital cardiac arrest EACH DAY in the US
❤️bystander CPR can double or triple their rates of survival
❤️only about 18% of US citizens report being current on CPR training
Please DM or text us at 310-300-2804 to find out how you or your child can get trained in CPR.
