Someone in your classroom or office collapses. You call 911, but help is a few minutes away and the person isn’t breathing. What do you do?
Learn the answer at this week’s Friday Forum. Betsy Boris, the Director of Nursing and Allied Health, will lead a hands-on workshop on the steps that everyone can take in response to a medical emergency on campus.
The workshop starts with lunch at 12:30 in the old stacks area of Osterlin. Betsy will give an overview of basic CPR and AED use, then we’ll practice under her supervision. Please RSVP to the invite on your calendar.
