The Woodbury Public Safety Department is launching a citywide campaign -- "Take Heart Woodbury" -- that empowers community members to assist an adult who suddenly collapses from a cardiac arrest.

Hands-Only CPR is a simplified method of CPR that requires no mouth-to-mouth breathing. It is a two-step technique that involves calling 911 and pushing hard and fast in the center of the victim's chest until help arrives.

The city wants to help train 7,000 people in Hands-Only CPR in 2012, and is seeking local businesses, churches, schools, and organizations to participate. It's easy -- and it can save lives! To learn more visit http://www.ci.woodbury.mn.us/emergency-medical-service/take-heart-woodbury

This video premiered at the 2010 annual Public Safety Board Dinner. The video was created by Firefighter Paramedic Jason Arney O'Neil. Jason wanted to convey the message in the video, that those that serve in Public Safety do not do this job to help themselves,they do this to help the people of the community. Well said Jason. We could not agree with you more.
