A free course at Community Memorial Hospital teaches lifesaving skills such as CPR basics, automated external defibrillator use and choking relief. The three-hour Family & Friends CPR course designed by the American Heart Association is for anyone who wants to learn simple lifesaving skills for adults, infants and children.
“New parents, babysitters and grandparents will especially want to take advantage of this free opportunity to learn lifesaving skills in just one morning or evening,” said CMH training site coordinator Kathy Henne. CMH is a training site for the American Heart Association.
The Family & Friends CPR course is taught by registered nurses. It consists of hands-on learning and is open to anyone 12 and older. Participants will receive a skills handbook and participation card.
The course is offered from 6-9 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 5, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturdays, Oct. 19 and Nov. 9, and 6-9 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5, at CMH, 855 S. Main St., Oconto Falls.
