On June 25, the Humanitarian Support Foundation Atlanta team received training in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) as part of the company’s ongoing Wellness Lunch & Learn series. The session was led by an instructor affiliated with Emergency Response to Terrorism: Self-Study (ERTSS), an authorized training center for the American Heart Association (AHA). During the session, our instructor demonstrated the proper way to administer CPR and use an automated external defibrillator (AED). He also reviewed the action required to help a choking victim.
CPR has been proven to improve survival rates for those experiencing cardiac arrest, as well as those who choke or stop breathing. Through training, Humanitarian Support Foundation employees learned how and when to give CPR to infants, children and adults. Humanitarian Support Foundation is proud to continue educating our employees on topics that improve overall the wellness of our team members and our community.
