Ironically, just a few weeks ago I and other individual were able to perform CPR and save a life. What stunned me was that 20ish people stood over the non-responsive person, offering no assistance either out of fear, lack of knowledge…? With the sole goal of educating as many people as possible, courtesy of the American Heart Association is the video above. Learn the two simple steps of Hands-Only CPR if you witness a teen or adult suddenly collapse: Call 9-1-1 and Push Hard and Fast in the Center of the Chest until Help Arrives. Please share the video of this family dinner scene turned disco party as they dance to Street Corner Symphony’s a cappella version of “Stayin’ Alive”, which has the same beats per minute as the ideal rate of chest compressions during CPR. Please like and share this important lifesaving video with your family and friends.

Some three out of four child safety seats are not used correctly. The correct installation of child safety seats is often very confusing to parents, grandparents and caregivers. Changing technology in vehicles and child safety seats adds to this confusion. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation offers education, training and other resources on child passenger safety for the general public, health and law enforcement agencies.
