The American Heart Association is proud to announce that Laerdal has awarded us a $1.85 million grant to be used over the next four years to fund various CPR Anytime™ projects, as well as support Community CPR Manager positions through our AHA affiliates.
Since 2007, nearly 1 million CPR Anytime kits have been distributed through the work of the Alliance. Thanks to the diligence of the Community CPR Managers and the support of affiliate and Alliance partners, 146,000 kits were placed during fiscal year 2012, resulting in the best year of end-user sales of CPR Anytime kits. With a research-proven training multiplier of 2.5 people trained per kit, we can estimate that almost 2.5 million people have been trained in lifesaving CPR skills through CPR Anytime.
Our Strategic Alliance with Laerdal has been key to many AHA successes, both domestically and internationally. We want to express appreciation to our partner for their continued commitment and dedication to our mission. Our work with Laerdal, through global CPR Anytime programs and innovative technologies such as eSimulation, helps the AHA extend its reach to diverse audiences, increasing the number of people trained in CPR and advanced life support and ultimately, increasing the number of lives saved through these interventions.
