Embedding high-quality CPR training in schools statewide
Return to Listing
In Wisconsin, cardiac arrest causes over 6,500 deaths annually. The likelihood of surviving cardiac arrest is a dismal 10%. When bystanders immediately provide CPR to a cardiac arrest victim, survival rates double or even triple. Project partners aim to increase sudden cardiac arrest survival in Wisconsin by creating the infrastructure for schools to provide high-quality CPR training to every student, creating a generational shift where all Wisconsin citizens are prepared and ready to act so that all Wisconsin citizens become a key piece in the chain of survival by being ready to act if they encounter a cardiac arrest victim.
