Heart Niagara Inc.

Description

What could be more useful than learning how to save a life? The incidence of heart disease continues to rise emphasizing the need for additional education to young people on positive choice. For over twenty-three years grade 9 students in Niagara , through a partnership with Heart Niagara, Public Health, and each of the school boards have increased heart health awareness and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to over 50,000 adolescents. The program is delivered through the phys.ed curriculum as an experiential learning and enrichment program which support teachers, families and adolescents to better understand the risk of future disease. Research demonstrate that earlier intervention is a key factor to support adolescents in making positive lifestyle choices. Heart Niagara designed the Elementary School CPR Program to further support adolescent education in the potential risk of heart disease. CPR is a skill that the trained public uses to help save lives in cases of heart attack, enabling bystanders to provide immediate aid until EMS (911 responders) arrive. A vital link in the Chain of Survival
