Kudos to Erika Yee, a health education assistant with the University of Arizona Sarver Heart Center, reached a milestone of more than 4,000 people trained in Chest-Compression-Only CPR this year.
Yee (far right in top image at right and second from left below) and her group of 15 volunteers, mostly UA undergraduate students, coordinate with the UA College of Medicine – Tucson REACT (Resuscitation Education and CPR Training) Group, the center’s Minority Outreach Program and the Steven M. Gootter Foundation.
In the last week of June, the volunteers trained students at the UA Agricultural Center and University High School (see photos below).
