FREE CPR Trainings
When
Free CPR Training Event
American Heart Association, Centura Health, Exempla Healthcare, and HealthONE Work to Save Lives and Train Thousands in CPR.
APRIL 9, 2011
9am to 5pm
University of Denver, Hamilton Gymnasium
WHAT: Free CPR Training
Join Centura Health, Exempla Healthcare, HealthONE, and the American Heart Association at a record-breaking event and learn this important life-saving skill! Our goal is to train 5,000 people in one day!
Basic CPR skills will be taught by trained professionals. Participants will walk away with the skills to save a life, however, CPR certification is not provided. It is important to keep in mind that a person needs to know the skills to save a life—that card in their wallet is only an additional benefit to them. That card will not save someone who is suffering from sudden cardiac arrest on the football field, sidewalk, or at the pool—basic CPR knowledge and skill will.
WHEN: April 9, 2011; 9:00am to 5:00pm
Trainings will occur every hour on the hour throughout the day. The first training begins at 9am.
The last training begins at 4pm.
WHERE: University of Denver, Ritchie Center, Hamilton Gymnasium
2240 East Buchtel Blvd, Denver, Co 80210

WHO: All ages! Bring your family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors!
WHY: Less than 5% of sudden cardiac arrest victim survive because most people who witness the arrest do not know how
to perform CPR. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at anytime. Many victims appear healthy with no
know heart disease or other risk factors. It could be your mother, your son, your co-worker, your best friend, or your neighbor.
Other important stats:
- EMS treats nearly 300,000 victims of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each year in the U.S.
- About 5,800 children 18 years old and under suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each year from all causes – including trauma, cardiovascular causes and sudden infant death syndrome.
