Friends and Family CPR

Some bystanders may find it beneficial to learn about the science and correct way to perform CPR. West Des Moines EMS has offered to provide a hands-only CPR program for bystanders who performed CPR in the field and direct family of recent cardiac arrest patients. The Bystander CPR Program will be held as needed and allows for hands on coaching by a paramedic, and for questions to be answered in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Note – This is not a certification course.
