Established by Congressional resolution in 2007, the U.S. observes June 1-7 each year as National CPR and AED Awareness Week, a dedicated time to raise awareness about critical lifesaving skills for cardiac arrest emergencies.

CPR can make a significant difference in the outcome of a cardiac emergency. CPR training sessions teach participants how to respond effectively in emergencies, providing them with the knowledge and confidence to perform CPR until professional help arrives.

By combining awareness initiatives with practical training in CPR, businesses can take proactive steps toward reducing the impact of heart-related emergencies. The goal is equip individuals with the tools and training to act swiftly and decisively in critical situations. As we observe National CPR & AED Awareness Week, let us collectively strive to create a healthier and more resilient society by fostering a culture of heart-conscious living and widespread CPR training.
