Learning Hands-Only CPR at Anthem, Waukesha, WI
This year, CPR Week (June 1-7) was immediately followed by the June 11 kick-off of the Hands-Only CPR Mobile Tour in Milwaukee, WI. Through support of the Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation, we are well on our way to training thousands of people in Hands-Only CPR in June and July. Last week we were joined by many special guests including Milwaukee Fire Chief Mark Rohlfing, Beth Sawant – a bystander who successfully performed CPR, “Hearty” the American Heart Association mascot, and hundreds of citizens who came out to learn CPR. Then in Cleveland we were joined by Richard Strain, a man who on May 19, 2013 collapsed while running a half marathon and was saved by prompt bystander CPR, EMS transport, and his physician Dr. Gandhi. We’ll continue to update you as the tour progresses through various cities in Ohio.
