“It doesn’t matter how quickly EMS providers get to a scene—bystanders will always be there first. Save-A-Life Day empowers the general public to learn and apply steps that can be taken to help save a life. Two great examples are community CPR and Stop the Bleed training courses. Check for more information under the CPR Challenge tab on the EMS Week page at https://www.acep.org/emsweek”

It doesn’t matter how quickly EMS providers get to a scene, bystanders will always be there first. Save-A-Life Day empowers individuals in the community to help save their friends, family members and neighbors by learning how to save a life. Great activities for this day include community training such as the free “Until Help Arrives” training course for bystanders that includes severe bleeding control and compression-only CPR and takes an hour or less. Visit the “Until Help Arrives” training program and the CPR Challenge on the EMS Week page.
