Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. is partnering with the FDNY and the Middle Village Property Owners and Residents Association to host a free CPR training on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at 6 pm during the block association’s monthly meeting at Our Lady of Hope, located at 61-27 71st Street in Middle Village. All members of the public are welcome.

The training includes:

•             Skills needed to save a life in the event of a cardiac arrest or heart attack

•             Compression only CPR (on adults only mannequins) with automated external defibrillation (AED) usage

•             This is a non-certification class that combines audio/visual instruction with hands on participation.

“CPR training is more than just learning a skill—it can provide someone with the knowledge and confidence needed to save a life,” Addabbo said. “In a cardiac emergency, every second counts, and knowing how to respond can make all the difference. By providing this free training, we are helping empower members of our community to take action when it matters most. I want to thank the FDNY and the Middle Village Property Owners and Residents Association for partnering with me to bring this important, potentially lifesaving program to our community.”
