Middle school students were given the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson on how to save a life. The program was provided by the American Heart Association. It is designed to teach the core skills of Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in just 22 minutes.
The program lasted an entire period. Students learned by watching a video and practicing on a manikin. Each student receives a course kit to take home and practice. The kit includes the manikin, a DVD that can be used to refresh skills, a skills reminder card to carry and manikin wipes and replacement lung for those interested in sharing the kit.
When lives may be a stake, it is nice to know these students will be prepared for a cardiovascular emergency. Thank you American Heart Association and Missoula business supporters for bring this training to Mission.
