Free Hands-Only CPR Training

Torrance Memorial to Host Free Hands-Only CPR Training on June 1

To honor National CPR Week, Torrance Memorial will host a free hands-only Sidewalk CPR Training Day for the community on Thursday, June 1. The trainings will take place at the Lundquist Tower Grand Lobby and Helena’s Café Lobby (located on the second floor of the West Tower) from 1 to 3 p.m. The event is free and no RSVP is necessary. Participants can drop by at any time for the training, which takes less than 10 minutes. CPR instructors and local firefighters will demonstrate the basics and proper techniques of hands-only CPR, and participants will have the opportunity to practice on mannequins. The training will not result in CPR certification, but information on how you can get certified will be available. Effective bystander CPR provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival. Where: Torrance Memorial Medical Center, 3330 Lomita Blvd., Torrance, CA 90505. For more information, call Cheryl Osborne at 310-784-4873.
