February is American Heart Month - AED Giveaway by Zoll! (February 2016)

CCPA Purchasing Partners and Zoll encourage all of our members to register to win an AED Plus^® to be donated to a charitable organization in your community! The need for communities to be prepared to aid victims of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is essential, and is even recognized by the American Heart Association. Per the 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC, “Patients who have an OHCA depend on their community for support. Lay rescuers must recognize the arrest, call for help, and initiate CPR and provide defibrillation.” The 2015 AHA Guidelines also state that “there is clear and consistent evidence of improved survival from cardiac arrest when a bystander performs CPR and rapidly uses an AED. Thus, immediate access to a defibrillator is a primary component of the system of care.”

You can help this important cause! Enter now to participate in Zoll’s drawing. Please also view Zoll’s demo video to learn more about the importance of AEDs.
