Anyone can help save a life, if they’re properly trained

OSERVS offers life-saving training

STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) -Anyone can save a life, if they’re properly trained. That’s part of the philosophy behind a class in Starkville Monday evening.

With the holidays and other gatherings coming up this time of year, knowing what to do if someone around you is experiencing a medical emergency is important.

OSERVS in Starkville hosts regular CPR training sessions to help people learn this vital technique.

In fact, at the training people learn what to do in the case of heart attacks, possible strokes, and choking, and for victims from every age level from infant to adult.

“Once people come out of this class, they are certified. They are certified. They know what to do in these situations, and they cannot be afraid to act, bedcause what if they are the only one there? It’s better if they do something rather than do nothing, and they’re learning what to do in that situation”, said OSERVS CPR Director Hildred Deese

OSERVS hosts at least two CPR trainings each month except December. For more information, go to oservs.org.
