CPR and COVID 19
The COVID-19 pandemic hasn't changed the fact that bystanders play a crucial role in improving survival rates for cardiac arrest. But providing potentially lifesaving CPR requires extra considerations amid the coronavirus crisis, according to temporary guidance from the American Heart Association.  Plymouth Heart Safe is resuming hands only CPR and AED training; information above.  Click here for details.
