LONDONDERRY-Seventy percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in the home. Statistically speaking, if you are called on to give CPR in an emergency, you will most likely be trying to save the life of someone you love: a spouse, a parent, a child, or a friend.
Neighborhood Connections is bringing to the community an opportunity to learn about and practice Hands-Only CPR. This method is effective and can significantly increase the chances of survival for the victim, especially in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest. It is simple to learn and can be performed by anyone, even without formal CPR training.
A free, one-hour session takes place on Friday, Nov. 6, at noon in the new Activity Center at 5700 Route 100. Light refreshments will follow.
For more information or to reserve a spot, call Neighborhood Connections at 802-824-4343. For questions about the program, contact Suzanne Burge, the organization’s outreach and event planner, at Suzanne@NCVermont.org.
