Museum Staff Learn Their ABCs

Sixteen staff members at A.C. Gilbert's Discovery Village got back to basics and renewed their first aid and CPR training recently. Under the guidance of trainer Rachel Kofoid of ABC Lifeline, staff were reminded of the importance of ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) during hands-on practice at the museum.
