Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in the United States. If life-saving measures like CPR are performed, a person’s chance of survival increases to 80%. Even though CPR and AED training is readily available, only 18% of Americans have kept up to date on their training. L3 is motivated to change this statistic and train and certify as many people of all age groups in CPR and AED. This will lower the fatality rate for sudden cardiac arrest.
