South Brunswick Plans Town-Wide CPR Classes For Residents

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ – Last year, two incidents in town highlighted the need for CPR training.
In Feb 2023, three local boys were able to save their father from a heart attack using their skills in CPR. Later that year in August, thanks to their quick actions, training, and knowledge of CPR, a group of over-40 men’s league basketball players were able to save a teammate who collapsed during play.
Recognizing the importance and need for CPR training, the Township’s Advisory Board of Health (ABH) is planning to host township-wide CPR classes for residents.
