Free Hands-Only CPR Training and Heart Attack Education being provided

1/4/2019

(SPRINGDALE, AR) — Jan. 4, 2019 — Free life-saving training, including hands-only CPR instruction, is being provided by Northwest Health on Wednesday, January 23, from 12- 2 pm at the Schmieding Center – Springdale at 2422 N. Thompson in Springdale. The program is sponsored by Northwest Health’s Senior Circle program.

Senior Circle is a free program for individuals age 50 or better who are interested in pursuing an active lifestyle, learning about health and wellness and meeting others. Events and activities are designed to help members stay healthy, vibrant and active. Non-members are invited to attend this program.

Hands-only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is recommended for use by people who see someone suddenly collapse in an “out-of-hospital” setting (such as at home, at work or in a park).

Northwest’s cardiac education specialists will be using a mannequin to teach, allowing each participant to practice. Hands-only CPR is for people who may not be CPR certified, but could help save a life by taking the right first steps. Information on the symptoms of heart attack and stroke also will be provided.

To RSVP, please call (479) 757-4106.
