Here's Where You Can Get CPR/AED Certified in the Hudson Valley

Earlier this week the nation watched as a young 24-year-old football player went into cardiac arrest during Monday Night Football.

Demar Hamlin Collapsed During Monday Night Football

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field during his game against the Cincinnati Bengals. First responders rushed to the field administering CPR to resuscitate Hamlin. Over the last few days since the accident, we've learned Damar Hamlin is in critical condition but making improvements every day.

I know I can't be the only one who watched the event unfold on live television and think that I would be completely unprepared if someone around me went into cardiac arrest. In the past, I have been CPR certified but haven't taken a refresher course in years.

So I did some research and found that there are tons of places where one can get CPR and AED certified across the Hudson Valley.

On the American Heart Association website, typing in your location will bring up a ton of places where you can take a CPR/AED training class near you. For instance, classes are offered at The Kingston Hospital and at Dutchess Community College. However, you'll have to research dates and times that classes will be made available.

Life-Saving Knowledge

Prices vary for classes and I know many people will say "I don't want to spend that much money" but when you think about it you can't really put a price tag on saving a life, right?

Buffalo Bills Star Sold Sprawling Estate When He Left the Team-Now He's Back!

Cole Beasley is back with the Buffalo Bills but we aren't sure if the new owners of his estate will let him rent from them. When he left the Bills, he put his Orchard Park home on the market. It sold on October 17th for $1.2 million.

Check out Cole's former sprawling estate. It has 6 bedrooms, 4 and a half bathrooms, a three-and-a-half car heated garage, and sits on 4.6 acres. It also has stunning American Hickory Hand Dressed Engineered Floors. The home is nearly seven thousand square feet. It's pretty modest for an NFL player if you ask me.
