The purpose of the health fair is to provide life saving information to people with no medical background.
Responding to medical emergencies is the focus of a community health fair sponsored by CVPH on June 7th from noon to 4 at Champlain Centre in Plattsburgh. It’s called “Staying Alive” and the event will feature displays and exhibits about what to do if someone is choking, in need of CPR or having a stroke. The use of an automated external defibrillator, called an AED will be explained and an overview will be given on how to administer Narcan. According to Shana Riel, a CVPH clinical education coordinator, “Staying Alive” is aimed at people without a medical background. She said “our goal is to provide practical, useful information” to be used in emergencies.
