KADLEC IS NOW OFFERING a number of its classes in Spanish.
Classes offered at Kadlec Healthplex include Initial and Renewal
Heartsaver First Aid, CPR and AED.
Preparing for Childbirth is offered online. For those interested
in this class who do not have access to a computer with Internet,
special arrangements can be made through Kadlec’s Education
Department.
Kadlec’s efforts to reach those who speak Spanish also
include taking first aid training into the community, including
to a conference of the Washington Potato Foundation.
“These classes have been great for the community and have
been so well received,”said Megan Bouche, Kadlec Training Center
coordinator.“Offering classes is about helping our Spanish-speaking
community to be healthier, gain important medical training and
even prepare for the birth of a child. It can be frustrating to want
this information but struggle with a class in an unfamiliar language.
Not only do they receive the information in Spanish, they are able to
ask questions and get answers in their own language. These classes
have proven to be a big help.”
Kadlec Neurological Resource Center’s library at Kadlec Healthplex
also includes a number of resources available in Spanish.
