Family and Friends CPR

The goal of the AHA certified Family and Friends CPR course is to teach an individual how to provide CPR in an emergency and how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
At any point in time, anyone can have a sudden cardiac arrest. This includes your neighbors, friends, and family.
The AHA’s CPR course prepares individuals to recognize and respond to sudden cardiac arrest situations, give high-quality chest compressions (CPR), deliver appropriate ventilations and provide early use of an AED promptly until the patient can be given complete medical care at a hospital.
By learning these skills, you can increase the chances of survival of an individual. You can make a difference. You can help save a life.
