Lately, Heart Smart CPR has seen a rise in the number of people wanting to take first aid CPR training just for the ability to help a stranger in need should the situation ever arise. I am impressed by this so much that I want to give a big shout-out to all of these people and say way to go, or kudos, even…thank you…for the life you save could be mine.
The American Heart Association offers a class for friends and family that consists of just this; a class for people willing to learn a skill that could save someone else with no need for a certification. This is different than a BLS for healthcare providers, or CPR AED class for non-medical providers. It is a very relaxed and enjoyable class that takes about an hour. First aid can also be added to the class which would add about 30 minutes.
People just like you are typically the first to respond to an emergency, it is only wise to be ready. Give us a call and we can make you a hero-in-waiting!
Have a heart healthy day!
