EMERGENCY INFORMATION COUNCIL
The Leisure World Emergency Information Council (EIC) is offering on-site American Heart Association certified CPR and first aid classes beginning March 1. The first CPR class that was scheduled for Feb. 1 has been rescheduled to March 8. The initial first aid class is almost fully booked and is scheduled for Saturday, March 1. Additional CPR and first aid classes are being planned for other Saturdays in March.
The EIC has partnered with Marc Woodward, owner of Prime CPR Services, to provide hands-on training with real life exercises and simulations that provide a realistic learning experience. Marc Woodward has 23 years of experience as a firefighter and paramedic. The first aid class starts with the basics and includes what to do for medical emergencies, injury emergencies and environmental emergencies. The CPR class includes performing high-quality CPR alone and with others, how to use an AED and how to help a choking victim for example.
The classes will be held on Saturdays from 9 a.m.-noon in Clubhouse 3, Room 3. There is limit of 12 students per class but a minimum of 10 students needed for each class. The fee to the EIC for each class is $40. Students who want a related Red Cross certification card must pay an additional fee. Reservations must be made a week in advance by contacting EIC President Jackie Dunagan at 562-431-7479 or jackie919@gmail.com.
