CPR AND AED AWARENESS      
Presented by Bill Fitzpatrick, RN 
Bill is an RN and currently teaches EMT and Pharmacology at LBCC. He is an AHA CPR instructor and has taught many classes both for certification and for general knowledge such as this being offered for OLLI

With a half-million cardiac arrests each year, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) can help save a life if a person’s breathing or heart stops. Why Is CPR Important? Keeping the blood flow active – even par􀆟ally – extends the opportunity for a successful resuscitation once trained medical staff arrive on site. Bill F. is donating time to teaching others how to save a life using CPR and AED.
