The Louisiana House of Representatives has passed a resolution designating June 2-6, 2025, as CPR and AED Awareness Week in the state. This initiative aims to highlight the importance of CPR and AED training, especially during the summer months when children are often away from trained caregivers. The resolution also commends three individuals—Caroline Ross, Layton Fontenot, and Hayes Kirkpatrick—for their quick and courageous actions during a medical emergency at the Bocage Racquet Club in Baton Rouge, where they effectively utilized CPR and an AED to save a life.

The resolution emphasizes the critical role that CPR and AED training plays in ensuring public safety and encourages all Louisiana residents to learn these life-saving skills. It aligns with the American Heart Association's National CPR and AED Awareness Week, which promotes preparedness and safety during recreational activities. The House of Representatives calls on families to become familiar with CPR techniques and AED usage, reinforcing the message that everyone can contribute to the chain of survival in emergencies.
