Cardiac arrest happens when the heart stops beating, and can happen to anyone at any time.
90% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims do not survive.
For every one-minute CPR is not performed on a person in cardiac arrest the chance of survival decreases by 10%.
According to the American Heart Association, an individual experiencing
an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is almost twice as likely to survive
when witnesses perform CPR while emergency personnel are en route.
However, the percentage of people experiencing cardiac arrest
who receive bystander CPR is low, at only 35% to 45% globally...
...and less than 25% locally.
YOU can help us change this!
The HEARTSafe Coalition provides free trainings to empower and increase bystander CPR to save more lives. Our 30 minute trainings are 100% free to any workplace, church, organization and/or group in Dubuque County.
The HEARTSafe Coalition is dedicated to saving lives by empowering our communities with the knowledge and confidence to perform hands-only CPR. Through education, outreach, and collaboration, we strive to increase bystander intervention in cardiac emergencies and create a culture of preparedness and compassion.
