Find CPR training in Michigan this National CPR Awareness Week

Been meaning to take CPR training, but never follow through? National CPR and AED Awareness Week could be just what you need.

Why it matters: Nearly three-fourths of cardiac arrest incidents outside hospitals happen in homes, per the American Heart Association (AHA).

• You may someday need to help someone you love — so why not prepare?

Between the lines: Performing CPR soon enough could double or triple a person's chance of surviving cardiac arrest, according to the AHA.

• Classes can also teach participants about Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), devices that restore a normal heartbeat using electric pulses.

👀 Find local classes:

• The Detroit Fire Department regularly offers hands-only CPR training for city residents.
• The AHA's interactive map shows classes near you.
• The American Red Cross also lists CPR training by Michigan city.

The intrigue: "Pink Pony Club" by Chappell Roan is an ideal song to sing mentally to keep pace while performing compressions during CPR.
