- ‘You’re never too young to learn how to save a life.’
The Los Alamos Youth Soccer League (LASL) recently hosted a hands-on training led by Los Alamos Medical Center’s Sara Sena, Director of Inpatient and Emergency Services, and Julia Kilcer, Nurse Educator. Together, they provided Hands-Only CPR and EHAC (Early Heart Attack Care) instruction to students and several coaches, equipping them with lifesaving skills that can make a critical difference in an emergency.
The session was held during American Heart Month and focused on recognizing the signs of a heart attack and responding quickly and confidently using Hands-Only CPR. By bringing this education directly to young athletes and their mentors, the team helped build awareness, preparedness, and confidence both on and off the field.
“Teaching these skills at a young age empowers students to act quickly and confidently in an emergency. You’re never too young to learn how to save a life,” Sena said.
She added that she was inspired by the group’s engagement throughout the training.
“The students were incredibly engaged and eager to learn. It was inspiring to see how seriously they took the responsibility of understanding CPR and heart attack warning signs.”
