Northern Berkshire Healthcare offers CPR course in June - June 02, 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. Some of the reasons a person may want to get certified 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 from 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 be given 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.
The June classes are Wednesday, June 18 and Thursday, June 19 from 6 p.m. -8 p.m. June dates are one course 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, the student will receive a Heartsaver AED course completion card. For more information or to register for an upcoming CPR class, please call 413-664-5404. |
