Statistics show that sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the United States, with nearly 356,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurring each year. Immediate and effective bystander CPR can double or triple a victim's chance of survival.

This training proves even more critical in athletic environments, where the probability of incidents needing immediate emergency response is heightened due to the physical nature of sports. I have also created and refined a YouTube tutorial that teaches basic CPR in Spanish.
