Where Can I Take a CPR Class?

Welcome to You Ask...Patch Answers where we answer readers questions. We recently received questions about where residents can take CPR and First Aid classes. Here's your answer.

If you don't mind waiting until the fall you can go right down the street to the Burbank YMCA for a class. However, if you would like to enroll now you will have to travel out of town.

If you are interested in CPR, sign up for the Winchester Hospital Center for Healthy Living's next open class which is HeartSaver CPR and automated external defibrillation (AED). The class starts on August 9 and will take place at the Unicorn Park Conference Room on 200 Unicorn Park Drive in Woburn. According to their website, it is a one-night course that focuses on rescue and choke-saving skills for adults, children, and infants. 

If that class doesn't work for you, take a look at their calendar of events to find a different class.
