KINGSTON (Jan. 22, 2007) − When a medical emergency strikes, the first six minutes are critical. But it can often take longer than that for emergency personnel to arrive. That’s when someone trained in CPR can make all the difference. Studies show that victims of medical emergencies have a much higher survival rate if a bystander administers cardiopulmonary resuscitation. CPR saves lives.
That’s why HKQ Kids – The Hourigan, Kluger & Quinn Fund for Children’s Advocacy – is offering FREE training in CPR, Infant CPR or First Aid to all teachers and day-care workers in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The three separate courses will be conducted Saturday, March 3, 2007, at the American Red Cross
building at 256 North Sherman Street, Wilkes-Barre. (DIRECTIONS)
The sessions will run from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Registration starts at 7:30 a.m.
Enrollment for the CPR course will be limited to 75. The Infant CPR |
