Stone Arch Lofts Becomes a Minnesota Heart Safe Community
Tuesday, November 11, 2014 at 4:33AMOur Mill District neighbor, Dana Kirkemo, invited me to attend a life support class that was held at the Stone Arch Lofts on November 4th. Stone Arch Lofts recently installed an automated external defibrillator (AED) and became a Minnesota Heart Safe Community.
Pat Olson, an HCMC paramedic, conducted the class of 17 Stone Arch Lofts residents on the "Chain of Survival" - a check list of actions to take if you witness someone experiencing a heart attack or sudden cardiac arrest. Attendees had the opportunity to practice chest compressions on Resuscitation Annie, use a defibrillator and learn the Heimlich maneuver.
If you'd like to talk to Pat about an AED and training for your residential building or business, you can reach him at pat@afaaed.com or 612-865-2548. Also see http://www.advancedfirstaidinc.com/ for information on AEDs.
