Learn CPR And Save A Life At Free Training In Arlington

Arlington, TX – Several organizations are working to bring life-saving knowledge to the citizens of Arlington.

Hands-only CPR, an effective way to double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chances of survival, will be taught to the community on May 23 at Globe Life Park.

Attendees will also learn tactics to stop heavy bleeding during medical emergencies.

Through these initiatives and similar initiatives the City of Arlington has achieved a bystander CPR rate of 60%, almost 20% higher than the national average which saves lives every day.
