The Family & Friends® CPR Course teaches child CPR, infant CPR, and relief of choking in a child or infant. Skills are taught in a dynamic group environment by using the American Heart Association’s research-proven practice-while-watching technique, which provides students with the most hands-on CPR practice time possible.
Family & Friends® CPR is for people who want to learn CPR but do not need a course completion card in CPR for their job.
This course is ideal for new parents, grandparents, babysitters, and others interested in learning how to save a life.
In addition to CPR, this course will cover safety topics such as baby-proofing your home, home safety supplies, poison prevention, the essentials of car seat safety, and more!
Each person who plans to attend needs to register. Cost per attendee is $45.00.
Classes will be held in person at South Shore Hospital in OB Classrooms A & B, unless noted otherwise. Free parking is available on site. Upon arrival, please use the McKim Family Main Entrance and tell our Concierge Team you're here for a class.
Please check your junk mail folder if you do not receive an email confirmation within one hour of registering.
