Learn CPR with Safety Outreach Specialists
Safety Outreach Specialists is a family owned business with its roots here in Almaden. Susan is an RN and an instructor at West Valley College. Jason is a Water Safety Instructor for the Red Cross, a well known swim instructor in Almaden and the Aquatics Director at the Almaden Country Club. Our backgrounds made it a natural progression to teach Health and Safety for the American Heart Association in our community.
We were inspired by the statistics recently released by the AHA regarding the survival rates for victims of Heart Attacks. Almost 80% of all heart attacks are witnessed by a family member or friend. The chance of survival doubles if the witness is trained in CPR.
Therefore, our goal is to offer an affordable, easily accessible and fun option for CPR/AED training and to work with our community to increase the rate of survival by increasing the number of people that can effectively perform CPR and utilize an AED (automatic external defibrillator). Our second goal is to increase the number of defibrillators available for those trained individuals here in Almaden. Besides personally encouraging all Almaden Businesses, large and small, to train their employees; we also would like them to band together and purchase an AED for their complex or office building. In the future, we want Almaden to be the safest place to live, work and play. We are pleading with all coaches, team parents and recreation leaders to join our campaign and learn the basics of CPR. We want all Churches, Community Organizations, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Schools and Libraries to also heed our call.
We want to make a difference by preparing our community one group at a time. Won’t you join us?
