DETROIT – As part of Local 4′s Go 4 It community campaign, we’ve partnered with the City of Detroit for a day of free hands-only CPR training, open to anyone who wants to learn.
To save more lives, more people need to be trained in how to perform hands-only CPR, a relatively simple technique that any bystander can learn to do without having a medical background.
- Hands-only CPR, even if it’s not performed perfectly, greatly increases a person’s chances of survival.
- Hands-only CPR is faster and easier to learn than traditional CPR.
- Hands-only CPR is a pandemic-safe way for bystanders to help save a life.
Three out of four cardiac arrests happen at home. That means you are most likely to need to know hands-only CPR to save someone you love. Getting immediate CPR can double or even triple someone’s odds of surviving.
*This training will not result in official CPR certification.
