World Restart a Heart Day is today, October 16th!

This fall, the American Heart Association is urging families, schools, and workplaces to make World Restart a Heart Day a day of action by learning how to save a life.

Supported by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, this awareness day focuses on Hands-Only CPR training and the importance of immediate action to help save more lives from cardiac arrest globally.

Make World Restart a Heart Day a day of action:
💖Take 90 seconds to learn CPR.
💖Advocate for a cardiac emergency response plan (CERP) in your community.
💖 Share your CPR story.

Immediate CPR and defibrillation are key to doubling the survival rate of cardiac arrest by 2030, a primary goal for the American Heart Association’s second century.

Join the Nation of Lifesavers and take action this World Restart a Heart Day by learning CPR and advocating for CERPs in your community so that together you can be prepared to save a life.

Stop The Bleed - This FREE class is open to the public!
October 18th from 2:00 PM-4:30 PM
Kingstowne Library

A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes. While emergency responders will arrive as quickly as possible, bystanders are almost always there first. In the case of disaster and high-casualty incidents, emergency services are often spread thin. This is where Stop The Bleed! helps. This training program will teach you to stop severe bleeding and Save a Life! WILL YOU BE READY?

STOP THE BLEED is a training program created to train bystanders in life-saving techniques. With the rise of active shooter situations in schools, churches, public meeting places, malls, government facilities and even office buildings, it is vital that individuals are trained in basic life-saving techniques, such as how to properly use a tourniquet, a hemostatic blood clotting agent, such as QuikClot, or even apply a chest seal. Everything that can be done to save a person's life is done in the first five minutes! What would you do if you were faced with the unimaginable?
