Attention Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Cutler Bay, Kendall residents. FREE CPR Class!

Everybody remembers at the beginning of the year when five month old baby Sebastian de la Cruz stopped breathing while been in his aunt’s car. Fortunately, his aunt was well prepared by knowing CPR and she was able to save his life.
I have two children of my own and I feel very strongly that it is necessary that us as parents should have the knowledge of what CPR is all about to be able to save someone’s life. 
If you are interested in taking a course they have a class scheduled for September 6th from 8:00A.M. to 5:00P.M. The class is open for adult as well as for children  over 11 years old as long as they are accompanied by a parent.
Locations:
* Coral Gables and Pinecrest residents: UM Field house at the Bank United Center.
* Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay:  Coral Reef Senior High School.
* Kendall: John A. Ferguson Senior High School

Sponsored by Jackson Health System, Miami Dade County Public Schools and the University of Miami.
