To raise awareness and help increase the chances of saving someone suffering from cardiac arrest, St. Johns County is supporting the American Heart Association by asking the community to take a certified CPR course.

“We are asking all members within our community to please take 90 seconds of your day to learn the lifesaving skills of hand-only CPR,” the county said.

To book a CPR class today, contact training center coordinator Jenn Hampton at 904-209-1747 or by email at jhampton@sjcfl.us.
