⏺ Earlier today, Jenkins County Medical Center hosted a BLS Brunch & Learn, focused on building practical lifesaving skills that can make a real difference in an emergency.
✨The class was led by Taylor Williams, Director of Respiratory Services, and Katy Hood, Director of Behavioral Health, who also serves as coordinator of our opioid prevention and education project. During the session, participants also learned what Narcan is used for, how to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose, and how to properly administer it.
⏺ BLS (Basic Life Support) training teaches participants how to recognize a medical emergency, perform CPR, use an AED, and respond to serious breathing or cardiac events until advanced care is available.
⏺ Classes like this help ensure our community is informed, prepared, and ready to respond when it matters most.
