Plymouth residents looking to become potential life-savers have an opportunity to up their game this fall. Free CPR and AED training sessions have been announced by Heart Safe Plymouth, the life-preserving collaboration between the Plymouth Public Safety Department and the Rotary Club of Plymouth. According to the official Plymouth city website, the heart-saving training aims to reach teenagers and adults dedicated to learning how to handle dire, life-threatening situations.
As part of efforts to make Plymouth a fortress against the threat of sudden cardiac arrest, participants will acquire hands-on CPR skills, which forgo mouth-to-mouth breaths and get trained on the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The sessions, which are slated to run on Thursdays from 7-8:15 p.m., have limited availability. Concerned parties wanting to lock down their spots can do so by checking out heartsafeplymouth.eventbrite.com, as detailed in their recent announcement.
With an impressive roster of nearly 8,000 trainees already equipped with these priceless skills, Heart Safe Plymouth is a vital part of Plymouth's designation as a Heart Safe Community since 2013. This label, a nod by the American Heart Association, underlines the continued endeavors to prevent deaths by sudden cardiac arrest and has been proudly mentioned in the city's news release.
Moreover, organizations and businesses looking to sponsor a group session at no cost can call 763-772-7671 or drop a line at [email protected], ensuring the lifeblood of community readiness continues flowing.
