We’re offering a friends and family CPR class at the Hatton Center on Wednesday, May 21 at 12:30 p.m. Almost 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and are witnessed by a family member. Currently the survival rate of cardiac arrest victims is approximately 6.4 percent. CPR can double a victim’s chance of survival by maintaining vital blood flow to the heart and brain until more advanced care can be given. Sign up and also sign up a friend or family member.
The Hatton book club’s next selection is “Dream When You’re Feeling Blue” by Elizabeth Berg. The discussion is on Wednesday, June 4, at 12:30 p.m. New members are welcome.
