Why it matters
In the United States, over 350,000 families are impacted by out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest each year. Because roughly 70% to 88% of these medical emergencies happen inside private residences, family members are frequently the primary witnesses, initial responders, or those left dealing with the sudden trauma and grief.
The Jensen family survived and continues to share the importance of learning CPR. You never know if it will be your loved one that needs this lifesaving care.
