The Ellis County EMS department is offering CPR classes in honor of American Heart Month for February.
The EMS agency offers classes for individuals, businesses and organizations. Health care provider courses take longer, while basic CPR classes last a few hours.
According to Ellis County EMS director Danita Schroeder, child care provider CPR classes are on the last Wednesday of each month.
“CPR training is another way to provide life-saving care to somebody who needs it,” Schroeder said. “If somebody collapses and somebody knows CPR, your chances of survival are much greater.”
The courses do require a fee that varies depending on certification. You can learn more at [email protected].
