More than 522,000 people learned hands-only CPR as part of the Revive & Survive San Diego Initiative launched in January 2024. The initiative is more than halfway to its goal of training one million people to do hands-only CPR.
They have hosted nearly 14,000 training sessions, including this one at Moonlight Beach, in collaboration with more than 35 community partners. Administering CPR immediately to someone experiencing cardiac arrest can double their chances of survival.
Globally, cardiac arrest claims more lives than colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, influenza, pneumonia, auto collisions, HIV, firearms and house fires combined, according to the American Heart Association.
