This training program is being offered at a cost of $10.00 per participant. Space is limited to the first 20 residents, limited to 1 person per household. The goal is to have as many households as possible with one person trained in CPR and AED operation on Great Island.
The CPR, AED and First Aid combination training program helps students develop the knowledge, skills and the confidence to respond to a medical emergency. Course topics will include: role of the first aid provider; protecting yourself; sudden cardiac arrest; caring for cardiac arrest (CPR); using an AED machine; multiple provider approach to CPR.
Just learning the basics of CPR and how to utilize a defibrillator machine can save a life! You should not hesitate to learn these skills. Defibrillator machines are very user-friendly. Recently the HOA purchased two new defibrillator machines. One is located in the hallway across from the craft room and the other is located across from the fitness center.
