CPR isn’t just a medical skill. In a cardiac emergency, anyone can be the difference before professional help arrives.

Parents, caregivers, neighbors, coworkers and friends are often the true first responders. When more people are ready, more lives are saved. If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest.

Students took turns doing chest compressions and called 911. By the time paramedics arrived, Arps had regained a pulse. https://wapo.st/4umUhGa
