Enroll in OLLI’s CPR class today!
The class is being offered on Monday, April 16, 1-4 p.m., at Bryan Medical Center.
Some people think that performing CPR is a job for paramedics or medical professionals. Others believe CPR is only for those with years of training and extensive experience in medicine. We believe that CPR training is for everyone. There’s still time to enroll in OLLI’s CPR class. Here are five important reasons why you could consider learning CPR:
• You will be equipped to help those you love. About 80 percent of cardiac arrest occur while the patient is home. This means that you are more likely to use CPR skills to help someone close to you than a stranger.
• CPR is easy to learn. One of the main benefits of CPR is that it can be performed by just about anyone at any time.
• Brain death doesn’t wait. You know that it’s important to call 911. Although emergency personnel send help quickly, no emergency is instantaneous.
• You’ll feel confident in an emergency. When you complete CPR training, you will have the skills and knowledge necessary to perform CRP in an emergency situation.
• You can save a life. You CPR skills can be used any day and anywhere to help save a life.
