The Henry and Stark County Health Departments and First Choice Healthcare are offering monthly CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) Certification Classes. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States, so people are encouraged to take a CPR Certification Class. As the American Heart Association says, “Learn to save a life, learn CPR. The Life you SAVE could be that of a loved one.”
CPR training will teach participants to recognize and care for breathing and cardiac emergencies in infants, children, and adults. Instruction will also be given on how to recognize emergencies and actions to take, and understanding the role of AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) in the Cardiac Chain of Survival.
CPR Classes are held on the fourth Tuesday each month. The class will be held at the Health Department offices, 110 N. Burr Blvd, Kewanee, IL, from 4 PM to 6 PM. The cost of the Class is $45, per participant, and payment and registration are due prior to the class date.
There is a set participant “minimum” and “maximum” for classes. Anyone interested in the class should contact the Health Department at 309-852-0197 Extension 266.
