Roosevelt Island resident Lynn Strong-Shinozaki is working with the American Heart Association’s You’re The Cure to teach Hands Only CPR Training. According to Ms. Strong Shinozaki:

… We are also working with groups like RIWHO and will be doing a training next Wednesday along with a talk about how to recognize when you are having a heart attack and stroke.

We are offering to work with any island group who would like us to do the training. It is not a certification. You do not receive a certificate. You simply learn what to do if a loved ones heart stops working.

To date we have trained 222 people who live or work on Roosevelt Island. We would love to train anyone who is bilingual to be facilitators in their native languages. Anyone interested can contact me….
