200 LA and MS coaches trained in Hands-Only CPR

Compression-only CPR known as Hands-Only CPR

Time is precious in emergency situations, and it’s imperative that our youth and high school coaches are properly trained to instinctively react in critical moments and provide the necessary support until professional medical assistance arrives. Compression-only CPR known as Hands-Only CPR can be equally effective as traditional CPR in the first few minutes of emergency response and is a skill everyone can learn.
