<p>Coalinga Regional Medical Center serves the Coalinga community. CRMC has been providing the community with affordable and valuable CPR classes.</p><p> </p><p>As of April 7, CRMC will no longer provide the community or its employees CPR certification. Healthcare employees are required to maintain CPR certification as a condition of employment. The decision to stop providing the CPR training has a direct economic impact on the community and the CRMC employees. In addition, termination of this program decreases the amount of community members who are trained with a tool that can save a life. </p><p> </p><p> CRMC termination of CPR training means the community and its employees will have to travel to Fresno and pay $100 to get the same training that Coalinga Regional Medical Center was providing to the community for $50, and free to its employees.</p><p> </p><p><strong>To the honorable Coalinga Regional Medical Center Board of Directors:</strong></p><p>The undersigned Coalinga community members and CRMC employees, hereby request CRMC Board of Directors and its CEO, reflect on their decision’s harmful impact to the community and reinstate the program.</p>
