Hands Only CPR Training

1 hour

Hands Only CPR is a course developed by the American Heart Association (AHA) that is designed to teach bystanders the immediate life-saving actions they can take when a person suffers from Sudden Cardiac Arrest.  When a person’s heart stops beating and they stop responding, their best chance of survival is reliant on trained bystanders who take action immediately.  The Hands Only CPR course covers compression only CPR (no mouth-to-mouth), how to use an AED, and actions to take if someone is choking.

Opioid Overdose Reversal Training:
