Frontline Fighters Scholarship Program is Making Waves

Heartland CPR introduced the Frontline Fighters scholarship program last year and have had 15 individual donations to this fund during that time ranging from a recurring $10 per month anonymous donation to a one-time $300 donation and others in between.  We have been witness to the domino effect set in place by the generosity of individuals in our community and we want to share and encourage others to get involved.  

Back in January, Lisa was the recipient of a $100 scholarship donated by Cathryn under what we call our "Frontline Fighters" scholarship program.  Lisa had lost her job due to COVID, was desperately trying to return to work, and had to update her ACLS Provider certification, which is quite costly.  She vowed to “pay it forward” when she got back on her feet if she got the job she was interviewing for.  In August, Lisa contacted us and contributed $300 to the scholarship fund for someone else.  We promised the first $100 to a young lady named Katie to cover her BLS Provider but the remaining $200 was applied to Carol’s ACLS Provider class in a few weeks.  Under the program, we discount our fee by 10% and then apply the scholarship, so many times the recipient pays a small balance or nothing at all for their needed AHA training.  Each of you played a vital role in making this vision a reality right here in your own community!

Many in our communities are looking for ways to give back to our frontline healthcare professionals and, while food deliveries are great, we have an idea that will last long after the next meal is served.  How about pre-paying for the required training of a healthcare professional?  These professionals have to recertify every two years at a minimum in CPR (known as BLS Provider); many, depending on specialty also have to take ACLS and/or PALS as well.  Heartland CPR presents the “pay it forward” scholarship that allows appreciative community members to pre-pay for a healthcare professional’s training - either by assigning that payment to a particular individual, field of work, hospital system or employer, zip code, or just about any restrictions you'd like placed on it - or you can choose to let us apply it on a first-donated/first-requested basis.  We’ll let you know how your  “scholarship” dollars were used and who the recipient was; likewise, we’ll let the recipient know who funded their training, unless of course you choose to remain anonymous.  Heartland CPR wants to help be part of the solution to keep our healthcare professionals trained and working on the front lines and let them know how very appreciated they are in their communities!  Reach out to us if this program is of interest to you or your place of business.  

We are proud to partner with generous donors in our community to recognize and lighten the load of our healthcare professionals who have been impacted by the COVID19 pandemic.  Thanks for partnering with  Heartland CPR in this endeavor!
