Free-Life Saving Training at the 2010 CPR Saturday Event
San Diego, March 2, 2010 If a member of your family, your friend or neighbor or even a stranger needed emergency CPR, would you be ready? The American Red Cross San Diego/Imperial Counties Chapter invites all San Diegans to get free Adult CPR training and certification at CPR Saturday.
The local Red Cross will be hosting the 2010 CPR Saturday event, where members of the community can get trained in Adult CPR free of charge. The event will be held downtown at the San Diego Concourse on March 13, 2010. The American Red Cross will be offering Adult CPR training with the first training session starting at 7:00a.m. and the last session starting at 1:00p.m. Each session will last approximately 3 ½ hours. In an effort to accommodate even more members of the community the American Red Cross will be offering training sessions in English and in Spanish. The Red Cross will also offer CPR training in American Sign Language (ASL) at 11:00a.m., 12:00p.m. and 1:00p.m.
Lives are saved when someone is present who is properly trained in CPR, said Chris Van Goder, CEO, Scripps Health.
CPR Saturday provides the opportunity for San Diegans to learn how to recognize the symptoms of cardiac arrest, how to administer immediate care and other vital steps to take in a cardiac emergency. Most importantly, they will learn the skills needed to save a life.
