Compression Ready Community
Mission Statement

Compression Ready Communities is a non-profit organization committed to improving community readiness during sudden cardiac arrest. Our goal is to eliminate bystander hesitancy through simplified education and repetition in high-quality compressions (HQC). We believe strongly that our program is the key to making a positive individual impact bringing about a collective large scale global change.

Studies confirm that correctly performed HQC (high-quality compressions) can significantly increase the likelihood of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest, potentially doubling or even tripling survival rates. We are confident that our streamlined approach can reduce bystander hesitancy during a cardiac emergency by consistently reinforcing three key actions

1. Recognizing an unresponsive person

2. Calling 911 and getting an A.E.D. if available

3. Immediately starting HCQ (high quality compressions)

A community earns the designation of being a "Compression Ready Community" when 70% of the members are adequately trained and regularly practice HQC. Each community member will go through our 20 min training class which consists of a brief introduction, a slide presentation with a 6-minute video followed by hands-on HQC training on a feedback manikin. To maintain compression readiness, community members will be scheduled a 2-minute practice session every 6 to 8 weeks after the initial training to help develop muscle memory. We hope through repetition to promote confidence and understanding thereby improving bystander hesitancy rates during a sudden cardiac arrest

Our Goal is to Educate Communities on High Quality Compressions and Improve the Outcome of Sudden Cardiac Arrest

At Compression Ready Communities (CRC), we're all about making a difference through raising awareness about the importance of high-quality compressions (HQC). Making hands-on lifesaving training affordable and accessible to every community, we aim to improve survival rates during sudden cardiac arrest, whether at home or elsewhere. Join us on our journey to educate and empower communities for a safer and healthier future!
