Red Cross Teaches St. Hubert’s Volunteers To Save Choking
People and Pets

MADISON (May 1, 2008) – Eileen Kelly (Long Valley, N.J.) practices life-saving skills during a recent American Red Cross clinic at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center that taught how to help a choking person or pet. Presented by the Red Cross Colonial Crossroads Chapter, participants learned how to recognize when someone is choking and how to clear the airway of a conscious choking adult, child or pet. The clinic was scheduled after a choking St. Hubert’s volunteer was saved by a fellow volunteer with similar training.
