The American Heart Association Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid and CPR course will be taught at Dearborn County Hospital on Wednesday, October 14.  Scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the course will be held in the conference facilities of the hospital.

Covered in the course are first aid for children and cardiopulmonary resuscitation for all age groups, in addition to blood-borne pathogen training.  Upon successful completion, participants will receive a card.  The course is designed for those who must be credentialed and meets the requirements for childcare workers.

“An individual’s chance of surviving a life-threatening situation is increased when those around them are knowledgeable of first aid and, when necessary, CPR,” stated Tina Butt, RN, DCH Emergency Medical Services/Emergency Cardiac Care Coordinator.

Class fee is $40 and registration is limited.  The deadline to register is Wednesday, October 7.   For more information or to register, please call the DCH Education Department at (812) 537-8431 or (800) 676-5572, ext. 8431.
