DERBY - Curtiss Ryan Honda of Shelton recently made a donation that will help save lives in its community.
The car dealership donated five new CPR manikins to the CPR Training Center at Griffin Hospital in Derby to enhance the lessons provided by Griffin’s Community Outreach Department.

“We are so thankful to Curtiss Ryan for this needed donation to update our CPR training equipment,” said CPR Training Center Coordinator Cathi Kellett.
“These new manikins will help us prepare new lifesavers throughout the Valley and surrounding communities.”
