New Hampshire
CPR Challenge

The Executive Council is challenging all five districts to train as many Granite Staters as possible in life-saving Hands-Only CPR. All trainings are free.

Hands-Only CPR

Two steps. No mouth-to-mouth. Anyone can learn it in 15 minutes.

Step 1: Call 911

If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, call 911 right away or direct someone nearby to call.

Step 2: Push Hard & Fast

Push hard and fast in the center of the chest at 100–120 compressions per minute. Don't stop until help arrives.

More than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside hospitals each year. Bystander CPR can double or triple a victim's chance of survival.
