MOREHEAD CITY â With support from the Byrd Family Foundation, the American Heart Association will provide 160 Infant CPR Anytime training kits to Carteret Health Care in Morehead City to be distributed to parents of newborns.
The Infant CPR Anytime kits will be given to parents of pre-term and high-risk newborns delivered at CHC to ensure they are able to return home with the confidence to handle any emergency that may arise.
âThis donation from the American Heart Association and Byrd Family Foundation is very beneficial because we provide so much education in such a short time to all our parents prior to discharge. Our parents are trying to adjust to this new life and enjoy and relish that experience, so most of what we teach them, unless enforced with written material may be lost shortly after they get home,â said Robyn Mobley, clinical director of maternal child health at CHC. âBeing able to provide the DVD, booklet, and training baby in the CPR kit allows parents, at their convenience, to refresh themselves on life saving techniques. Parents can also share the kit with caregivers of the baby.â
