Hands-Only CPR training at The Hershey Story

About 200 more people now know how to perform Hands-Only CPR after a weekend training session with experts from Penn State Hershey Medical Center. People cycled through The Hershey Story on Chocolate Avenue on Saturday to view a brief video and take part in interactive training activities. Among the highlights of Saturday’s event was when a ‘flash mob’ suddenly converged and demonstrated Hands-Only CPR while a chorus made up of Medical Center employees sang the Bee Gees hit “Stayin’ Alive.” The song’s tempo is 100 beats per minute — the same rhythm that the American Heart Association recommends for performing Hands-Only CPR.
