NORTH ADAMS, Mass. - Northern Berkshire Healthcare will offer a summer class schedule for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), First Aid, and Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers.
Heartsaver First Aid with CPR and AED will be offered on Thursday, July 16, and Thursday, August 6, beginning at 5 p.m. at the VNA & Hospice Community Room, 535 Curran Highway in North Adams. Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers will be offered on Saturday, July 18, and Saturday, August 15, beginning at 9 a.m. at the VNA & Hospice. To register, call (413) 664-5404.
Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers is intended for healthcare professionals seeking a renewal and students entering nursing, medical assistant, surgical technology, and other medical fields. The course expands on the Heartsaver level and includes information on two-person rescuer CPR and rescue breathing.
Heartsaver First Aid with CPR and AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) was designed to prepare a wide variety of people who want or need to learn CPR. The course also covers the basics of first aid.
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 for Community Health Department at North Adams Regional Hospital have been certified by the American Heart Association to conduct the community classes. Classes are approximately three to four hours long.
Each course uses a “practice while watching” method. The student will receive a workbook including a CD prior to the class. The cost for Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers is $65; the cost for Heartsaver First Aid with CPR and AED is $65. Students may opt to take just the CPR portion of the class or just the First Aid portion. If the student opts to take only one half of the class, the fee is $40. The fee covers the cost of instruction, the student workbook, and certification card.
Upon demonstration of the skills taught in the course, the student will receive a Healthcare Provider or Heartsaver First Aid with CPR and AED course completion card. For more information or to register for an upcoming CPR or First Aid class, please call 413-664-5404.
My husband and I took Emergency University's training too. I definitely recommend them.
