Heimlich Heroes: Teaching Children to Perform the Heimlich Maneuver

Sara Cohen has been a long-time volunteer for the School District of Philadelphia, but she wanted to find a way to help students learn and retain practical life skills. When she found the interactive, hands-on Heimlich Heroes program, created by Deaconess Associations, Inc. and the Heimlich Institute, she decided to team up with school nurses and gym and health teachers to lead kid-friendly sessions. Using funding provided by a Penn Medicine CAREs grant, she was able to purchase posters, bookmarks, and special training dolls that feature a diaphragm, trachea, and lungs. If a child performs the maneuver correctly, a piece of foam will pop out of the doll’s mouth. Cohen has trained hundreds of fifth through seventh-grade students in the Philadelphia region. #PennMedicine #HeimlichHeroes
