REHOBETH, Ala. (WDNews) — Residents will have an opportunity to learn life-saving skills during National CPR & AED Awareness Week at the Town of Rehobeth Community Center.
The free training event is scheduled for June 4 and will offer two sessions, one beginning at 3 p.m. and another at 6 p.m. Participants will learn how to perform CPR and properly use an automated external defibrillator (AED), skills that can make a critical difference during cardiac emergencies.
The event is part of Houston County’s HeartSafe initiative and is being supported by Brightspeed.
In addition to receiving hands-on training, participants will receive a free HeartSafe T-shirt, treats provided by Ben E. Keith Foods, and a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich meal courtesy of Chick-fil-A East Dothan.
Organizers are also offering an incentive for attendees. Anyone who completes a training session at any of the five Houston County locations participating in National CPR & AED Awareness Week will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card.
Officials encourage residents to register early, as space is limited.
Registration is available at sehealthfoundation.org/heartsafe.
Organizers say the goal is to help make Houston County a HeartSafe community by equipping more residents with the knowledge and confidence to respond during emergencies.
