CPR might be necessary in many different types of emergencies, such as accidents, near-drowning,
smoke inhalation, etc. When performed immediately and effectively, CPR can save a person’s life by
restoring blood flow to the heart, brain, and other organs. Without oxygen and blood flow to the bodies’
vital organs, permanent brain damage or death can occur in less than 8 minutes. Anyone can learn CPR,
and everyone should. Here’s a list of classes offered in our area:
