With the aim of continuing to promote the well-being and safety of older adults, a workshop on CPR, First Aid, and Choking in Older Adults was held at the “Plaza Sol” Retirees and Pensioners Center. The activity was organized by the Department of Senior Citizen Policies of the Municipality of Concordia and featured the participation of the Red Cross team, who led the training.
The Head of the Department, Gladys Portugal, highlighted: “This workshop is part of the actions we carry out to empower our residents with practical tools that can make a difference in critical situations. Caring for our older adults is everyone's responsibility, and these training sessions strengthen that community commitment.”
During the activity, attendees learned cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques, maneuvers to act in case of choking, and basic first aid procedures. The practical demonstrations allowed participants to incorporate knowledge that will be essential in emergency cases.
“Training sessions like these bring us ever closer to the inclusive and solidary Concordia we want to build. We thank the Red Cross team for their professionalism and dedication, as well as the residents who participated with such interest,” added Portugal.
The Municipality of Concordia continues to bet on the comprehensive care of older adults, reinforcing its commitment to education and community preparation.
