HANDS SAVE LIVES

A nonprofit organization that offers Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) education and certification along with heart health education, such as “Healthy Cooking on a Budget” and “Ways to Get a Workout Throughout your Busy Day” to underserved communities throughout Los Angeles.

These programs are designed to empower those with fewer resources by giving them the tools to change unhealthy habits, gain life-saving CPR knowledge, and earn CPR certifications that might have otherwise been financially unobtainable, opening doors to new employment opportunities.

 
 

WHY IS OUR MISSION SO IMPORTANT?

According to the American Heart Association®, there are major risk factors for heart attacks that can actually be modified, treated and/or controlled.  These changes in lifestyle are so incrediblY important to learn about to prevent and even reverse heart disease.

“CPR, especially if administered immediately after cardiac arrest, can double or triple a person’s chance of survival. About 90 percent of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest die”
