This practical training will focus on hands-only CPR training from Escambia County EMS, learning a simple and effective technique that can save lives during cardiac emergencies when immediate action is critical. The class will also include education on recognizing and responding to signs of a stroke. No prior medical training is required, and the class is open to all members of the community.
According to the American Heart Association, hands-only CPR by a bystander is as effective as conventional CPR for teens and adults in the first critical minutes of cardiac arrest and can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival when performed immediately.
“Prepared communities are safer communities,” said Commissioner Hofberger. “This class empowers residents with the knowledge and confidence to act in an emergency and support one another when it matters most.”
The class is free to attend; however, space is limited. Attendees are asked to register for the class here. Residents are encouraged to bring family members, friends, and neighbors to help strengthen community preparedness across Escambia County.
