Choking is one of the leading causes
of accidental death among children aged three years and younger. In
order to better prepare people for such an emergency, Michelle York of Somerset
Hills CPR, LLC will offer a short overview on choke management of a conscious
person at Bernardsville Public Library on Wednesday,
March 20 at 7:00 pm. The class is non-accredited,
but follows American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines.
Ms. York is an American Red Cross Instructor, an
AHA Basic Life Support Instructor, and owner of Somerset Hills CPR, LLC, who
has recently moved to Bernardsville.
This month, she will be inducted into the Bernardsville First Aid
Squad. She was an EMT in New York City
for over ten years, and has been educating and certifying residents under the
AHA guidelines in CPR and First Aid since 2009 with the Mine Brook Search and
Rescue Training Center.
There is no charge to attend the program, but
space is limited. Advance registration
is required at www.bernardsvillelibrary.org. For more information, call the library at
908-766-0118.
