Learn hands-on skills in rescue breathing, CPR and the Upward Thrust Maneuver to save a choking victim as well as new American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR.
Free CPR sessions will be offered from 9 to 10 a.m. and 10 to 11 a.m. on UNM Johnson Center Field (weather permitting) or in Johnson’s Auxiliary Gym. Participants are asked to pre-register by phone or e-mail to Alana Grier (505) 277-5715, agrier@unm.edu.
