Mid Penn Bank and The Peyton Walker Foundation today announced the creation of a new life-saving initiative to combat Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) – one of the leading causes of death among Americans.
Through the Foundation, Mid Penn will invest in training and certification of its employees in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and First Aid. The program will launch in June. SCA has claimed the lives of three teenage students and another young athlete’s life right here in Central Pennsylvania in just the last four months.
