👉 Women are less likely to receive bystander CPR due to fear, myths and misconceptions. We must do more to save women's lives.

✅ Be ready to perform Hands-Only CPR whenever you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, even if they are a woman. There are just two steps:

📲 1. Call 911.
❤️ 2. Push hard and fast on the center of the chest at a rate of 100-120 compressions per-minute until help arrives.
