American Heart Association's Mobile CPR Tour

American Heart Association public training event, with support from the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia’s Foundation, that uses the Bee Gees’ hit “Stayin’ Alive” to teach lifesaving Hands-Only CPR (no breaths, just chest compressions).  The song has more than 100 beats per minute, the rate at which you should push on the chest during CPR.  

The event will include a viewing of the American Heart Association’s new PSA with a comedic disco twist to promote CPR awareness. The PSA can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/CBMLZiLcqs0

A new state-of-the-art interactive CPR mobile unit will be at the Atlanta event as part of its nationwide tour. The first 1,000 people who are trained at these on-site events will receive a Hands-Only CPR kit to take home to share with and train others. For more information on the tour - www.heart.org/handsonlycpr or www.facebook.com/AHACPR
