Your First Step Toward Being a Lifesaver
The American Heart Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that as many as 400,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of hospitals in the United States each year. In these critical moments, immediate action can mean the difference between life and death.
Studies show that when a person experiencing cardiac arrest receives CPR right away, their chances of survival double or even triple. South Piedmont’s CPR/Basic Life Support course equips you with the skills and confidence to respond effectively in these emergencies.
By learning how to perform high-quality CPR, you can play a vital role in saving lives and making every second count when it matters most.
