More than one hundred people recently convened at Ford Field for CPR training, an initiative by the Detroit Lions Foundation and the American Heart Association. The event focused on equipping community members with essential skills to respond during cardiac emergencies. Participants practiced crucial techniques, including chest compressions and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
