June 1-7 is CPR/AED Awareness Week. The UC Davis Fire Department invites you to learn hands-only CPR on June 4th and 6th! This is a free event; please come by anytime between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM at the MU Patio. WHY LEARN HANDS-ONLY CPR?

Cardiac arrest – an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) and disrupts the flow of blood to the brain, lungs and other organs - is a leading cause of death. Each year, more than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States.
