Being prepared for an emergency can actually make the difference between life and death. Hearing save stories reminds us all that we need to look out for and protect one another. Whatever your role is for your job or other ways you serve your community, learn CPR and start noticing AEDs in your surroundings. AEDs are recommended wherever large groups of people congregate and are required in many public buildings. If you don't have an AED in your workplace, church, gym, library, or other places you visit frequently, we can assist with finding the right AED wherever there is a need. 1-800-550-AEDs

Beth found her husband Luis crumpled on the bathroom floor. He wasn’t breathing. "Call 911!" she screamed to her daughters.

Beth had taken a CPR class a decade earlier. With coaching from the 911 operator, she started pumping on his chest. Although she felt his ribs break, Beth kept going until paramedics arrived. They shocked him multiple times with an automated external defibrillator, or AED, before his heart started beating again.

"I always envisioned if I needed to use CPR, it would be some random person in the street," Beth said. "Not in my house and not my husband. From the minute we arrived at the hospital, everyone told me I saved his life.

“Everyone needs to learn CPR."

7 out of 10 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home. Be ready by knowing the two steps of Hands-Only CPR: Call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest.
