Louisville area high schools receive free CPR training

December 23, 2014 by William Dillon

We had a very successful and busy fall.  Our 4 cardiac arrest interns taught at 18 area high schools.  We focused on teaching freshmen in high school due to the requirement that all freshmen in Kentucky take health class.  We worked closely with that administration of Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) as well as some of the private high schools in Jefferson County.  Without the help and vision of the administration at JCPS, we would not have been nearly as successful.  Our interns taught over 2,800 area freshmen hands-only CPR.
