Learn Sarver Heart Center's Continuous Chest Compression CPR

Every three days, more Americans die from sudden cardiac arrest than the number who died in the 9-11 attacks. You can lessen this recurring loss by learning Continuous Chest Compression CPR, a hands-only CPR method that doubles a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. It’s easy and does not require mouth-to-mouth contact, making it more likely bystanders will try to help, and it was developed at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.

For more information see the University of Arizona College of Medicine news article or the YouTube video.

Protect Yourself When Filing A Home Insurance Claim

Most people buy homeowners insurance and then go years without filing a claim. When the need arises, they may not know where to start. Here’s good advice from the Insurance Information Institute: 
  
Call your insurance agent. He or she should guide you through the process.

Make temporary repairs to prevent further damage. Save the receipts; you will be reimbursed.

Make a list of the things lost and damaged and take photos if possible.
If you need to move out of the house until repairs are made, save lodging and restaurant receipts. They, too, may be reimbursed. Your insurance company will do the rest. They will provide you with a claims form and will send an insurance adjustor to inspect the damage and prepare an estimate for repairs.

There is one exception to this sequence:  
If the damage is the result of vandalism or burglary, call the police. You will need a police report for the claims process.
