National CPR Awareness Week
Why is CPR important? Cardiac arrests are more common
than you think, and they can happen to anyone at anytime. The
facts outline the need to know CPR basics:
-
Nearly 300,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests
occur annually, and 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur at
home.
-
Many victims appear healthy with no known heart
disease or other risk factors.
-
Sudden cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart
attack.
-
Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when electrical impulses
in the heart become rapid or chaotic, which causes the
heart to suddenly stop beating.
-
A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to part of
the heart muscle is blocked. A heart attack may cause
cardiac arrest may cause cardiac arrest.

Past Meetings
It looks like we have a place to have an Eastern Region
Executive Board Meeting on Saturday, March 27, 2010. Veronica
has confirmed the 1199 New Jersey office. I am requesting an
address from Veronica to send to you all. Due to the short
notice I am asking that you RSVP to see if this is doable. Also,
I am trying to do an agenda, so if there is something that you
would like to have on it, please send that too. If you have
contacts with other board members please notify them of this
meeting. If the New Jersey location so desire, we may can have a
meet and greet for any non Executive Board Members that may wish
to meet us. We will probably need a count. Kyle, and or Valerie,
can you notify the members in Philly. Some one may want to come
to represent the group.
