We love hearing from former customers who have put to use the skills they learned in one of our classes. Recently Terry Taylor who received Heartsaver First Aid+CPR training at his place of employment, Assurance Marketing, reached out to us with an unbelievable story of just how quickly he put his skills to use on a family member. He can tell it far better than we could; see for yourself:

Dear Ms Davis,
I just wanted to thank you for having Devin come out to our office location on Friday the 24th and train all of us on Adult CPR and AED. Everyone came up to me later to tell me how much they had learned and how much more confident they were about helping someone in trouble.
I would also like to share a personal story that may be of interest to you.
The CPR training that day provided numerous scenarios of a person needing assistance which included what to do when someone is choking and not able to breath. OK, good to know right?
Well, as luck would have it, my wife prepared an amazing tortilla soup that very Friday night. All was going great as we talked about our day and what we were going to do on the weekend, when suddenly she grabbed my leg, got up and held her hands to her throat. Instinctively I asked her, "Do you need help, are you choking?" She nodded her head YES so I got behind her and placed my fist where Devin had shown us. I then gave her a strong upward squeeze and POP...out came a tortilla chip that had gotten lodged in her throat. Man, talk about perfect timing, some would call it God's timing.
I think it is ironic, in a good way, that I had set out looking for a company like Heartland CPR to come to our office so the employees could take care of each other, and as it turned out saved my wife's life.
This is my story. You may share it with anyone who is considering having your company come out to provide lifesaving instruction to their employees.
Gratefully yours,
Terry P Taylor
We are so proud that Terry acted decisively and skillfully handled a scary situation...and so grateful that he shared his story with us. Every instructor at Heartland CPR is fully committed and knows that what we teach is important and has the potential to change or save a life. We can't have "off" days when we are teaching something so vitally important, so we carefully select instructors that embody that passion for what we're doing here. It's not just job or a paycheck...this is why we do what we do and we can never lose site of that.
Thanks Terry for sharing your story with us and congratulations on a job well done!
