Hands for Life Makes History with residents of CTBestApts Stamford apartments

Aug. 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Stamford, Conn. – The Hands for Life special event held at Chelsea Piers in Stamford Connecticut broke records on August 25, when 5,141 eager trainees, including many from CTBestApts’ apartments for rent in Stamford, were trained in hands-only Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). This sets a new record in the United States for the number of individuals taught hands-only CPR in one location in one day and secured Stamford, Conn. the title of “Heart Healthiest City in America.”

“It was so exciting; there were people coming in from everywhere to participate in the event and enjoy Stamford,” said Carol Magda, community manager for CTBestApts.com. “Many of our residents joined in, and we are proud that three of our communities are in the new ‘Heart-Healthiest City!’”

The Hands for Life event was chosen to take place in Stamford because of the number of civic-minded companies, the diverse population and energetic, activist communities. While the event fell short of the 7,909 record held by the Singapore Heart Foundation in 2011, it did take the title from the previous American record holder of 4,626 in Texas in 2009. The hands-only method was taught due to new guidelines that removed the ‘mouth-to-mouth’ potion for laymen in favor of a focus on compressions to keep blood moving throughout a heart attack victim’s body. Hosts of Hands for Life hope that this surge in population trained in the life-prolonging technique will make a big difference for the 785,000 Americans who suffer a heart attack each year.
