Day 1 of Free CPR training complete; 3 more events left!

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Day 1 of free CPR training is a wrap but there are 3 more events left to take part in.

Wednesday, WWAY held the event at CFCC and the Rock Church in Wilmington. Experts from New Hanover Regional Medical Center showed everyone how quick and easy it is to do CPR. It only takes a few minutes of training to have a potentially life-saving impact.

Chantal Corbett was one of the participants. “It’s something that I never knew and it’s a good thing to know,” Corbett said. “I don’t want to ever be in the situation, but if I ever am, it’s nice to know I’m equipped with information to save someone’s life.”

The goal of the Hands on Hearts campaign is to train people in our community about compression only CPR and how to perform it during an emergency situation. EMS personnel from New Hanover Regional Medical Center are teaming up with WWAY to offer FREE one day events to be held at three different locations to teach area residents this important life saving skill in just 15 minutes.
