PRESS RELEASE News Media Contact: June 5, 2018 Jackie Ruiz, MPH Public Information Officer (805) 896-1057 (cell) jacruiz@sbcphd.org Nick Clay EMS Director (805) 319-0099 (cell) Free Hands-Only CPR Training Events in County Learn a Lifesaving Skill on Thursday, June 7th (SANTA BARBARA, Calif.) -- The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agency in partnership with EMS providers and the Health Care Centers of the Public Health Department will be offering free Hands-Only CPR training on Thursday, June 7th as part of National CPR & AED Awareness Week. Performing CPR when someone collapses from sudden cardiac arrest can more than double his or her chances of survival. Hands-Only CPR training is simple and takes less than 2 minutes to learn. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), less than half of all sudden cardiac arrest victims receive CPR prior to the arrival of EMS personnel. In County, that number is less than 25%. Additionally, the AHA states that about 88% of all sudden cardiac arrests occur in the home. Second District Supervisor Janet Wolf, a partner in Thursday s events, said, We welcome and encourage every member of our community to stop by their nearest Hands-Only CPR event and take just a few minutes out of their day to learn a skill that could one day save a life. The EMS Agency is committed to ensuring that all County communities have access to this critical training in order to increase the chances of survival from cardiac arrest. This one-day training opportunity is a part of routine offerings of Hands-Only CPR by our EMS providers. Ten training events will be hosted at various locations and times throughout the county with several venues offering the training in Spanish. Be sure to review the attached flyers for locations, times and additional details. Join us in learning a lifesaving skill! -30- PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT 300 N.
