Chamber of Commerce To Host CPR, First Aid Classes

The classes are part of the chamber's community outreach efforts.

CANTON, GA -- As part of the Cherokee County Chamber’s community outreach programs, two CPR/AED classes and two CPR/AED & First Aid classes will be offered to the community this summer.

Each class will be held at the Chamber of Commerce office located at 3605 Marietta Highway in Canton.

In the event of an emergency, your CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), AED (Automated External Defibrillator) and First Aid training could mean the difference between life and death. By properly administering CPR, you can help stabilize someone that is injured or ailing until help arrives.
