    IF YOU CAN’T ATTEND THESE EAGLE ROCK CLASSES  — The American Heart Association is calling on all Americans in June to learn how to give Hands-Only® CPR by watching a simple one-minute video at heart.org/cpr. Once you have learned CPR, give 5 people you care about the power to save lives by equipping them to act quickly in a crisis.  Don’t be afraid; your actions can only help. If you see an unresponsive adult who is not breathing or not breathing normally, call 911 and push hard and fast on the center of the chest.

    Outreach flyer is available with this posting for printing/distributing.  Please help promote this important training.
