Saves Lives

The Health Education Centre at Douglas College
is continuing its commitment to better community
health care by offering a full range of First Aid
and Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
programs during the month of May..

Starting Saturday, May 3, the Centre will present
the valuable First Aid - Basic 1 "The Adult"
program, introducing participants to knowledge
and skills in coping with life threatening
situations.

The program teaches accident prevention, one
and two person CPR techniques and management
of obstructed airways. First Aid - Basic I

"The Adult" is a three week program including

24 hours of instruction, and the course fee is
$60.

Successful completion gives students their
Red Cross and Heart Foundation certificates
for one year. Classes are held at the

New Westminster campus of Douglas College.

People with previous CPR training are eligible
for the CPR Basic I program offered at the
Sherbrooke Centre of the Royal Columbian
Hospital the evenings of May 6 and 7.

CPR Basic | includes training in one and two
person Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation for
conscious and unconscious patients, treatment
of children and a written exam. This course is
six hours inlengthand costs $25.

People living near Port Moody will have a special
section of the Heart Saver program brought to
their community on Wednesday, May 7. This
course is four hours long, costs $18 and is

the pre-requisite to all other CPR programs
available through the Health Education Centre.

Offered in conjunction with Port Moody Parks
and Recreation, the course is held at the Kyle
Street Recreation Centre beginning at 6: 00 P.M.
