Learning CPR must become part of our civic responsibility...

Civic Responsibility is defined as the "responsibility of a citizen" (Dictionary.com). It is comprised of actions and attitudes associated with democratic governance and social participation. Considering the 325,000 deaths to sudden cardiac arrest each year nationally, we must, as citizens take pause, and be reminded of our civic responsibility to help our fellow man in their time of need.

The fight against Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a fight we can win, together. We can, and are developing cardiac resuscitation systems here in Lancaster County that match and exceed many of the world’s best.

Unfortunately, without the help of our county citizens, our work may prove to be futile.

Learn CPR. You never can be sure the life you may save.
