When Minutes Matter During CPR

The life you save with CPR is mostly likely to be someone you love! That's because statistics indicate that four out of five cases of cardiac arrest occur at home. But many Americans feel unable to act during a cardiac emergency, primarily because of a lack of training and education.

The ProMedica CPR Rescue Training Center wants to change that. All of our American Heart Association (AHA) classes are Instructor-led with hands-on skill development sessions and include the following programs.

We are also a registered Safe Sitter Teaching Center and provide classes for students in grades 6-8.
