This decision is a victory for communities working to put health over corporate profits. For too long, companies have tried to block policies that reduce consumption of unhealthy products and invest in public health.

This ruling shows those efforts won’t stand in the way of progress. @american_heart will continue supporting communities advancing policies that help people live longer, healthier lives.

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward is taking his impact beyond the field as an American Heart Association Nation of Lifesavers™ NFL Player Ambassador. After losing his father to sudden cardiac death, Ward is sharing a lifesaving message: anyone can perform Hands-Only CPR.

If a teen or adult collapses: Call 911. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives.

“CPR is a personal duty,” he said. “Heroism isn’t limited to uniforms — it is everyday people stepping up for others. Whether you’re at home, at the gym, or at a Browns game, cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, and you’re most likely to save someone you know.”

Ward put billboards across Cleveland for National CPR and AED Week earlier this month to remind people they are the first responder until help arrives.

Most cardiac arrests happen outside a hospital. Yet CPR is given only about 41 percent of the time.

“Dai, dai, ikou, dale, allez, let's go!” ⚽

By learning two simple steps, you have the power to save a life with Hands-Only CPR! Immediate CPR can double or even triple the chances of surviving a cardiac arrest.

If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest.
