WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP US CHOOSE UPCOMING PROGRAMS?

As part of our services to the Jefferson Hills community, the Jefferson Hill Library endeavors to offer interesting, informative and vital programming. In the past year we have welcomed book clubs, a variety of computer classes, crafts and floral arranging,  jewelry making, health and fitness, exercise, bridge lessons, and most recently a presentation from the Jefferson Hills Area Ambulance Association on practical techniques to aid residents while waiting for the ambulance after calling 911.


We would like to hear from you, and are asking for your opinions and suggestions on subjects of future classes and programs for adults.  Send an e-mail to Jane Milner, Program Coordinator, at milnerj@einetwork.net or call 412-973-7262.  Tell us the days of the week and times that are most convenient for you to attend our programs.


At a recent seminar, Chief Doug Pascoe and Assistant Chief Michael Horgos demonstrated chest compression techniques to revive victims who are not breathing. Assistant Chief Robert Gibson also demonstrated techniques to aid choking, accident, stroke, and wound victims, The team also gave suggestions for aiding them in accessing your home and medications, particularly for elderly family members and residents who live alone.  "All of the information given was pertinent and important," remarked a resident who attended the program."
