Hands For Life is committed to training residents of Stamford and Fairfield County in Hands-Only CPR and in the use of Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs), at the same time increasing access to AEDs.

The goal is to make Stamford and neighboring towns the safest communities for cardiac arrest in Connecticut. This effort will also include education about heart disease and will improve the understanding of risk factors in order to enhance the overall health of our local community.
