CPR class held
Jun. 22, 2023 1:31 pm
The Washington County Extension Office, Washington County Fair Association and members of the Washington County Ambulance were able to provide CPR Training at the Washington County Fair Grounds, for the first time.
Because of this class, 37 people are now trained on how to give correct CPR, basic first aid and how to use an AED. One participant stated that she hope to never have to use her new skill but after tonight feels comfortable preforming CPR if there was and emergency. That is 37 people in our community, that can make a difference. Not all people are comfortable doing the CPR on a patient, but if you understand the process there are many other ways you can help in the event of an emergency.
Thank you to the local supporter who gave the donation to allow us to have the class. Thank you for all that attended and thank you to all that helped out.
