❤️ | Hands-Only CPR Challenge ❤️
This February, the Fairfield Health Department is inviting everyone to join a Hands-Only CPR Challenge! The goal is simple: to see how many people we can get to watch a Hands-Only CPR video—whether it’s your first time learning or a quick refresher.
👉 The link below takes you to a short Google Form with embedded CPR videos in English, Spanish, and Mandarin.
You’ll be asked just two quick questions:
1️⃣ Is this your first time learning Hands-Only CPR or a refresher?
2️⃣ What town do you live in?
Once you submit the survey, you’ll be able to view the live results and see how many people from your town, region, and overall have participated.
Every view counts, and could help save a life. 💪🫀
