Greetings!

As we observe American Heart Month, it is crucial to recognize the importance of heart health and the life-saving skills of CPR. Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and raising awareness about prevention and emergency response can make a significant difference.

Learning CPR is a vital skill that can save lives. In the event of a cardiac arrest, immediate CPR can double or even triple a person's chance of survival. By equipping ourselves with this knowledge, we empower our community to act swiftly and effectively in emergencies.

I encourage everyone to take the time this month to learn CPR and educate others about heart health. Together, we can create a safer and healthier community.

Warm regards,

Robert F. Mateff Sr.

Chief Executive Officer
