Miami, Fla. –The Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County invites you to participate in Hands-Only™ CPR training on Sept. 29. The department is hosting trainings in each county in celebration of World Heart Day, an annual event created by the World Heart Foundation to remind everyone that heart disease and stroke are the world’s leading causes of death.
Hands-Only™ CPR is cardiopulmonary resuscitation without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is recommended for use by people who see a teen or adult suddenly collapse in an “out-of-hospital” setting, such as at home, at work or in a park. In the event of a cardiac emergency, people are more likely to perform Hands-Only™ CPR and ultimately save a life.
What: Hands-Only™ CPR Training
When: Sept. 29, 2015
3:00 p.m.
Where: West Perrine Health Center, 18255 Homestead Avenue, Miami, FL 33157
