This course is for anyone with limited or no medical training who needs a course completion card in first aid, CPR and AED use to meet job, regulatory or other requirements.

 

The cost is $60 and includes the book. Registration and payment is required prior to the course.  The number of participants is limited by American Heart Association’s guidelines. Another course is planned for January. To register or for additional information, call Franklin Memorial Hospital’s Education Department at 779-2381.
