Foodcritic, actually I was off on my statement. According to The Villages Public Safety/Fire Dept here is their statement. The survival rate for sudden cardiac arrest in The Villages Fl last year was 44% – about 7 times the national average of only 6%. Contributing to this high survival rate are the many Villagers taking CPR training – over 2000 last year and over 7000 in the last five years; and neighborhood CPR/AED Programs – currently 44 with 8 more in training. I'd say they are pretty damn good percentages.
