Red Cross Chapters Gear Up for National CPR and AED
Awareness Week.
|
In December 2007, Congress passed a bill designating the first week of June
as "National Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillator
(AED) Awareness Week." To showcase our commitment to this effort and to highlight
June 1-7 as the inaugural CPR and AED Awareness Week, the American Red Cross goal is to
reach 250,000 people during that week with CPR and AED information — directly and
through collaborations with local Chapters. Click Here to view the dates
scheduled for First Aid, CPR and AED in Cherokee County. |
