American Heart Association Walgreens supports the Nation of Lifesavers movement, raising awareness to save lives.
Walgreens is committed to advancing CPR education and awareness, turning bystanders into lifesavers, as a national sponsor of the American Heart Association’s Nation of Lifesavers.
When someone’s heart stops, immediate CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) use can double or even triple their chance of surviving. Yet less than half of people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest receive the help they need from a bystander.
Sharing personal stories helps raise awareness and save lives. Share your connection with CPR – survival, loss, recovery or rescue. Every voice – every story – may inspire someone to learn CPR.
