Bay Area Nonprofit Provides CPR And Automated External Defibrillator Training

CBS San Francisco

BENICIA — February is American Heart Month and nonprofits like Via Heart Project look for every opportunity they get to increase awareness about sudden cardiac arrest.

The organization provides people with CPR training and classes on using an automated external defibrillator or AED. The group also provides AEDs and helps schools and offices maintain the equipment.

"Oh my gosh, are you OK? Are you OK?" asked Pam Dodson while demonstrating how to respond to someone experiencing cardiac arrest. She showed how to perform CPR and use an AED earlier this month to leaders of Benicia Unified School District.
