The Texas County Memorial Hospital education department is offering heartsaver cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the public.
Heartsaver CPR is an instructor-led course that teaches adult CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) use as well as how to relieve choking on an adult. The course uses the American Heart Association’s “practice while watching” technique, which allows instructors to observe the students, provide feedback and guide the students’ learning of skills.
Participants in the class have the option of learning CPR and AED for adult, child, infant or all three age groups.
The class will be 12:30-4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 12. The cost is $50, which includes the instructor, class materials and cards for certification after completion of the course. All classes are in the Timmons Education Room at TCMH. Class size is limited, so pre-registration is required.
To register for these classes, contact Connie Brooks, education director at TCMH, via phone at 417-967-1340 or via e-mail at cbrooks@tcmh.org.
