CPR

CPR is an emergency procedure that can save a person's life when they are unconscious. Our CPR Training course is designed to teach you how to perform CPR and use an AED and how to assess a victim. Students learn how to administer CPR to someone who has stopped breathing and is in cardiac arrest. CPR provides life-saving assistance to a person's circulatory system, which can help prevent disability or death. The American Heart Association estimates that every year, more than 350,000 people in the United States die from sudden cardiac arrest.

AEDs

AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are a portable device that can be used to diagnose and treat victims of sudden cardiac arrest. AEDs are designed to be used by the general public, including laypersons and those with no medical training.

The AED is the only device that can diagnose victims of sudden cardiac arrest. If you find a victim in cardiac arrest, call 911 and then go to the victim.

State of Health in Pennsylvania

The health rankings are compiled by the United Health Foundation and are based on data from the United States Census Bureau and other sources. The rankings cover four dimensions: health outcomes, such as longevity or healthy life expectancy; health factors, such as behaviors that affect one's risk for disease or injury; access to care; and equity, meaning how close people are to having equal opportunity for good health.

The state of health in Pennsylvania is worrisome, with an average life expectancy of 76.7 years. This is lower than the national average, which is 77.8 years.

Pennsylvania has a high rate of obesity, with 30% of adults and 18% of children being obese. Obesity can lead to many other diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure which are all related to obesity.

Pennsylvania also has a high rate of cancer deaths, with an average death rate per 100 people being 159.6 deaths per 100 people in 2016-2017.

Pennsylvania also has a high rate of drug overdose deaths, which was the highest in the United States. The opioid epidemic is one of the main contributors to this statistic.

The report also states that there are many health disparities between different races and ethnicities in Pennsylvania. For example, black people are more likely to have asthma than white people and Hispanics are less likely to be obese than whites or blacks.
