Why Learn CPR?

Save Lives: CPR can significantly increase the chances of survival for individuals experiencing cardiac arrest. By performing CPR, you can maintain blood flow to the brain and other vital organs until professional medical help arrives.  Empower Yourself: Learning CPR empowers you to take action in emergency situations and potentially save the life of a family member, friend, or stranger.

American Heart Association Friends & Family Class

The Friends & Family CPR Course teaches the lifesaving skills of adult Hands-Only® CPR, child CPR with breaths, adult and child AED use, infant CPR and relief of choking in an adult, child or infant. Skills are taught in a dynamic group environment by using the AHA’s research-proven practice-while-watching technique, which provides students with the most hands-on CPR practice time possible.

Family & Friends CPR is for people who want to learn CPR, but do not need a course completion card in CPR for their job. This course is ideal for schools and students, new parents, grandparents, babysitters and others interested in learning how to save a life.

Please note: There is no completion card issued with this class.


Stop the Bleed Training

Learning to Stop The Bleed® is a lifesaving skill. The number 1 cause of preventable death after injury is bleeding. With 3 quick actions, you can be trained and empowered to save a life. 

Most Stop The Bleed® courses last no longer than 90 minutes. A formal presentation is followed by hands-on practice of applying direct pressure, packing a wound, and using a tourniquet to stop the bleed.
