February is American Heart Month! The number one factor in improving survival in sudden cardiac arrest is early recognition and early CPR. You have heard this over and over again. Are you trained? Would you know how to recognize sudden cardiac arrest or know how to initiate CPR? Here is your chance!
In conjunction with American Heart Month and in observance of Valentine’s Day, The Cambridge Valley Rescue Squad will sponsor the American Heart Association’s Friends and Family CPR program. This program is perfect for those that want or need to know CPR, but do not have a lot of time for more in depth training. Friends and family emphasizes “hands only compressions” and takes just a little more than an hour to complete.
The program will be held at Cambridge Central School on Saturday February 14, 2015. There are two sessions; 9:00 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. The fee for the course is $15 per person, or if you “bring a family member or friend”, it is $10 per person.
For more information or to register for the program, please contact CVRS at 518-677-8211 or training@cambridgeems.com.
Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in other American Heart Association CPR or First Aid courses or are interested in becoming an EMS volunteer.
