Each year in Canada, 60,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of a hospital setting.
That's 1 cardiac arrest every 9 minutes. Nine out of 10 will die.
But doing #CPR and using an #AED can double the chance of survival. Save a life.

Julie Pfeffer received an early-morning call from her mom that changed everything. Instead of heading to work to run a mock code on a heart attack that leads to cardiac arrest, Julie rushed to her mom’s house where a real emergency was happening.
