Immediate CPR can double or even triple a person\u2019s chance of survival, making early intervention critical. This weeklong initiative aims to empower community members with the skills and confidence to act quickly during a cardiac emergency.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Every second counts when it comes to cardiac arrest,&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>said\u00a0<strong>Los Angeles County Chair Pro Tem and First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis<\/strong>, who authored the motion.<em>\u00a0&#8220;By learning CPR and how to use an AED, our community becomes the first line of defense in saving lives. This week is a reminder that anyone can step up and make a difference. When we know what to do and act quickly, we protect our loved ones and neighbors. I encourage everyone in Los Angeles County to get trained and help create a safer community.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis week is incredibly important. We highlight the value of learning bystander CPR, a key step in the chain of survival for cardiac arrest\u201d\u00a0<\/em>said\u00a0<strong>Doctor Nicole Bosson, Medical Director for the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency (EMS).<\/strong><em>\u00a0\u201cIt takes only a few minutes to learn and triples the chance of survival when performed during that critical interval until EMS arrives. With nearly 8,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in LA County each year, imagine the number of lives we can save if every person in Los Angeles has this life-saving skill.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Board of Supervisors encourages all residents to take advantage of free training<br \/>\nopportunities and become a part of LA County\u2019s life-saving network.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES \u2013 The Los Angeles&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ca-local","category-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73276"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73276\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73277,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73276\/revisions\/73277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
