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.
Wow! If accurate, I'd say those are newsworthy stats, so we should be seeing them on television news shows and newspaper headlines. Certainly in big lettering in The Daily Sun, wouldn't you think? I hope they are true, and wouldn't we all be just so proud of this wonderful community if they are?
