CPR Courses – American Heart Association 

Knowing the skills of CPR makes you a more vital member of your community.  Recognizing the warning signs & symptoms of a heart attack, stroke, or choking is critical to assisting someone experiencing these difficulties.  Many deaths can be prevented if someone trained in CPR provides proper life-saving measures until trained professionals take over.  You can be a vital link in the chain of survival of “Early Access, Early CPR, Early Defibrillation and Early Advanced Care”.
