National CPR & AED Awareness Week: June 1st to June 7th. Immediate CPR can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim's chance of survival. — Immediate CPR can **double or triple** a cardiac arrest victim's chance of survival. Join us this June and gain the confidence to act in an emergency!

June 1–7 marks National CPR and AED Awareness Week, a time dedicated to spotlighting how lives can be saved when more people know how to perform CPR and use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Since approximately 70 percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home, learning these skills means you are most likely preparing to save the life of a parent, spouse, or child.

In honor of this week, DobroSKILLS CPR is partnering with the Aurora Regional Fire Museum (53 North Broadway, Aurora, IL) to offer a series of training opportunities, ranging from free community demonstrations to full certification classes.
