❤️ Wear Red for Women! ❤️

Today is National Wear Red Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about heart disease—the #1 killer of women. Many people think of heart disease as a men’s health issue, but the reality is:

🔴 1 in 3 women dies from cardiovascular disease.
🔴 Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined.
🔴 80% of cardiac events can be prevented with education and lifestyle changes.
🔴 Women’s symptoms can be different from men’s, often including fatigue, nausea, and shortness of breath—sometimes with no chest pain at all.

Let’s stand together and advocate for heart health! Know the signs, get CPR certified, and make heart-smart choices. ❤️

Exciting day at CPR Choice as ZOLL visited Rocky Top! We hosted an incredible sales and skills symposium at our Knoxville headquarters, where several of our instructors participated in a CPR challenge using ZOLL’s advanced CPR feedback AED. We also had the opportunity to dive deeper into the amazing features of their newest device, the AED3. We’re thrilled to partner with ZOLL in our mission to equip businesses and public spaces with lifesaving AEDs. Together, we’re making strides toward a shared goal—saving lives!

CPR Choice had the privilege of leading over 230 Pilot-Flying J employees from across the U.S. in a mass hands-only CPR skills demonstration! We covered how to recognize the warning signs of heart attack and stroke, the chain of survival, performing hands-only CPR, and using an AED. With 75 manikins deployed, it was an incredible experience.

Today, we’re working with a smaller group for CPR, AED, and First Aid certification. Many employees shared how CPR directly impacted their lives—whether they performed it, it was used on a loved one, or it even saved their own life.

We’re proud to continue expanding our mission of saving lives both in the classroom and our local communities.

Did you know that women are less likely to receive CPR in public compared to men, often due to hesitation related to female anatomy? Prestan Products is working to change that with their innovative female manikin, breaking down barriers in CPR training. We met with Prestan this week & CPR Choice is proud to be incorporating these manikins into our classes soon—because women deserve CPR too!
