Hope Free CPR class

Would you know what to do if someone suddenly collapsed in front of you?

Tempe—2/22/2020 — Offered free to the community, HOPE provides Hands On Practical Experience in a simplified form of CPR using only chest compressions (no mouth-to-mouth breaths). Chest compression-only CPR has been shown to be as effective as regular CPR. For those who suffer a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital, the chance of survival is less than 10 percent. Brain damage can occur in four minutes and for every minute without CPR, the chance of survival goes down by 10 percent.

HOPE is a positive educational experience designed for anyone who desires to learn this potentially life-saving skill; children attending school, family members and friends, or members of our local, education, business, or religious communities. Thousands of people have already participated in HOPE training. This is your invitation to join them in the goal of saving as many lives as possible! HOPE will be offered on Saturday February, 22, at 10: 00 AM at 4625 S. Lakeshore DR Tempe, Arizona 85281.

HOPE is free, but registration is required. To register, please contact Arizona CPR Training and Certification, 520-424-4071, arizonacprcertification@gmail.com.
