NBH offers CPR classes - May 05, 2008
NORTH ADAMS - Northern Berkshire Healthcare is expanding its community education programs by offering a Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) class designed by the American Heart Association.
Heartsaver AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) was designed to prepare a wide variety of people who want or need to learn CPR. Reasons for becoming certified may include a need to perform CPR in the workplace or similar setting, knowing how to use an AED, and knowing how to help someone who is choking.
Cardiac arrest can result from heart attack, drowning, electric shock, and other problems. Studies show that effective CPR, quickly administered, improves survival from cardiac arrest.
Employees of the REACH Community Health Foundation, a non-profit entity of Northern Berkshire Healthcare, have been certified by the American Heart Association to conduct the community classes. The class is approximately four hours long.
The course has been redesigned using a “practice while watching” method. The student will receive a workbook that includes a CD prior to the class. The cost for the class is $40. The fee covers the cost of the student workbook and certification card.
Upcoming classes are Saturday, May 10 from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. and Wednesday, June 18 and Thursday, June 19 from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. The June course will be taught over two days. Classes will be held in the 2 East Education Classroom at North Adams Regional Hospital.
Upon demonstration of the skills taught in the course, students will receive a Heartsaver AED course completion card. For more information or to register for an upcoming CPR class, please call 413-664-5404. |
