Church CPR training saves a life.

摘要

Jody Gilchrist's article, "Public Access to Defibrillation (PAD): Implementing a Church Program" (April/June 2012) made my heart happy. As a nurse, I became certified as a CPR instructor. In 2007,1 was on my church board and proposed we purchase an Automatic External Defibrillator for our large church and community center. I sensed the discomfort with this topic among other council members, but our pastor thought we should get one. The council voted in favor, and I have since taught Basic Life Support skills to ushers, preschool and Sunday school teachers, and administrative staff.
