survival rates triple!

It only takes about 10 minutes to learn the simple steps that can save the life of a person who suddenly collapses from cardiac arrest.  Do you have 10 minutes to learn how to save a life?  You can participate in, host or sponsor a training session in your neighborhood or workplace.


YOU can make a DIFFERENCE.  TAKE 10 is a 10 minute training session that teaches compression only CPR.  We know that high quality, uninterrupted chest compressions initiated as soon as possible after an adult has cardiac arrest (their heart stops pumping)  make a difference in survival.  TAKE 10 is a community-focused effort to improve bystander CPR rates and thus improve survival.  Learning chest compression only CPR for adults is simple.  Every one of us can help make a difference.


The TAKE 10 training is offered free by one of our community volunteers.  We loan the teaching materials at no cost to our TAKE 10 community volunteers.
