The course teaches how to recognize the signs of four major emergencies: heart attack, stroke, cardiac arrest and foreign-body airway obstruction. The scope of this course does not include infant (0-12 months) CPR technique.
The cost for the class is $20.00. It must be paid in advance and is non-refundable. To register, call (216) 227-2481. Books are also available to purchase prior to or at the class for $12 each.
The Lakewood Start-A-Heart Committee was formed in conjunction with the Lakewood Hospital Association to expand the current AED program within the City of Lakewood. In 2005, Lakewood Hospital Association generously contributed $25,000 toward the purchase of additional AEDs, supplies and training. The Start-A-Heart Committee directs the expansion and future implementation of the AED Public Access Program, determines the purchase and placement of the AEDs within the City, the purchase and distribution of supplies for the AED Program and training related to the use and operation of the AEDs. The Committee engages in fundraising efforts to help support the future financial needs of the program.
