Wednesday, Jul. 30 | 6-7:15 PM: Hands-Only CPR + AED Training

Most Americans feel helpless during a cardiac emergency. Would you, a family member, or a friend know what to do if you saw some suddenly collapse? Increase your confidence and reduce your fears and hesitation during an emergency by being trained in Hands-Only CPR.

By learning Hands-Only CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) or CPR without mouth-to-mouth breathing, you can increase confidence and reduce hesitation in life-saving situations. This training also includes a demonstration on the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and education on early heart attack signs and symptoms.

This is a free, in-person event. After you register, Chester County Hospital will send you any additional details and instructions you need for the training. You will receive a confirmation and any final instructions by email approximately two business days prior to the event.

Registration is required: Register by phone at 610-738-2300 or register online.
