We are thrilled to announce that Washington, D.C., joins 34 states in requiring CPR training to graduate high school, making the Mid-Atlantic Affiliate the first in the country to be covered by this life-saving legislation! Nearly 3,000 students graduating each year from Washington, D.C., public and charter schools will now be trained in Hands-Only CPR. Congratulations to the entire Arlington, Va. team who worked tirelessly to get this law on the books.
Also, please join me in congratulating the North Carolina advocacy team for winning AHA’s Grassroots Innovation of the Year Award, for developing an innovative way to increase the historically low engagement of volunteers recruited at Heart Walks.
