SafeTec Training Services to Offer Free Life-saving Training

FEASTERVILLE, Pa. - March 20, 2014 - PRLog -- Can you save a life? It is estimated that up-to 350,000 people in the US suffer from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) each year. Currently the chance of surviving a SCA event is less than 10%. Without prompt CPR brain damage and resultant death will occur within minutes. With prompt CPR and defibrillation many of the deaths associated with SCA can be prevented. SafeTec Training Services will offer free to the community HOPE or 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.

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 Tuesday, April 1, 201 at 6:30pm at the SafeTec Training Services Education Center, 2580 West Maple Avenue, Feasterville, PA 19053
HOPE is free, but registration is required. To register, please visit https://www.regonline.com/HOPE_04_01_14 or contact SafeTec Training Services at (877) 788-6384 or via email at info@safetectraining.com
