Event Details
Join the Nation of Lifesavers by learning Hands-Only CPR at our CPR Community Day on Sunday, September 29. The American Heart Association and the Innovation Partnership, a collaboration of Albany County and MVP Health Care, want to train 600 people in the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR in one exciting day!
On September 29, Hands-Only CPR will be taught in 30-minute time slots, from 10am until 3pm. with the ability to train up to 80 people each half hour. To register, visit heart.org/cpr518
A limited number of CPR & First Aid Youth Sports Traning Kids will also be given away to Albany County youth sports teams. Teams can apply for the kits on the same website where people can register for the CPR training. The kits contain mannequins, kneepads and training materials to teach Hands-Only CPR.

Why is Hands-Only CPR important?
Nearly 350,000 people suffer out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest each year. Only 10% survive. Having CPR performed doubles or triples the chances of surviving sudden cardiac arrest. Since most sudden cardiac arrests happen in the home, the Innovation Partnership and the American Heart Association are working together to train 600 people in Hands-Only CPR.
