BULLHEAD CITY – To participate in 911 National Day of Service, local emergency medical services organizations have partnered with area schools to offer a special event called “Learn The Beat” on Monday, Sept. 12, 2022.
“Learn The Beat” aims to teach Hands Only CPR to every 8th grader in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley and then challenges these students to teach others. Firefighters, EMTs and paramedics from Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley Fire Departments will visit eighth grade classes in their respective districts to provide this training.
The service project was created by Sandra Lord Thomas, a member on the Mohave County Board of Health. “This event is a rare opportunity to honor those who serve our area day in and day out and simultaneously share a lifesaving skill to a generation of students that will carry forward the commitment to serve and care for our community.”
Western Arizona Regional Medical Center and CareFlight are providing sponsorship and program support. Anyone interested in volunteering may sign up at JustServe.com. For more information, please contact event organizers, Sandra Lord Thomas at (702) 420-4922 or WARMC Marketing Director, Jena Morga, at (928) 763-0282.
