  DESCRIPTION:

  Each year, more than 350,000 EMS-assessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States. According to the American Heart Association, 90 percent of people who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests die.

  When a person has a cardiac arrest, their survival depends on immediately receiving CPR from someone nearby. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double, or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival.

  In his years of service, He has seen too often people will not start CPR on someone, either because they are scared or because they do not know how. Every minute that CPR is withheld decreases chances of survival by 10%.

  Because he has seen a family’s hurt when a loved one is lost due to the lack of receiving such care, He decided to help as many people as possible to understand and learn how easy it really is to apply this life-saving technique.

  Join us for a hands-on, educational class designed to equip you with essential life-saving skills. In this engaging session, you'll learn the basics of CPR, First Aid, AED use, and Stop the Bleed techniques. Whether you're new to these skills or need a refresher, this class offers practical training that could one day help you save a life. Be prepared—because when every second counts, your knowledge can make the difference.
