CPR Course at
Library
Sandra Dunn of the American Red Cross will be at the Greenville Public
Library on Thursday November 5 at 6:30 to teach Citizen CPR. The
course if free and open to the public. Registration is not
required but appreciated. Please visit the Library's Facebook
Event Page or call 548-3915 for more information.
The purpose of the course is to teach untrained bystanders how to
perform hands-only CPR. Having more citizen bystanders trained in
this simple skill can help save lives by putting more cardiac arrest
victims within a few steps of lifesaving assistance.
Sandra shares some important facts. When a person's heart stops,
brain death occurs in as little as 8-10 minutes. The national
average response time for an ambulance is 10 minutes. Research
shows that the shorter the time from collapse to when CPR is initiated,
the greater the chance of survival in a cardiac arrest emergency.
Be sure to attend this important course! Refreshments will be
served.
