Think Your Kids Are Too Young To Learn CPR?

You'd be surprised just how well even young kids can learn and retain the skills of CPR.  In our experience, most 12 year olds are mature enough to listen and participate in class well enough to be certified...but even children much younger may be able to learn and practice a few simple steps.  We offer a simplistic class each quarter here at our office for those that don't need certification but simply want to learn; we also take this class on the road if you have a group of babysitters, family members, social club, or church members wishing to learn without certification.  When you consider that most emergencies requiring CPR occur in the home, consider that it just might be your child that saves you or another loved one.

Charli just turned 7 and is rocking CPR.  Kids are more impressionable than we think and what they learn now will stick with them throughout their lives...if we stress the importance of leaning life skills like CPR, who knows what lives may be saved or changed in years to come.  Great job, Charli!

Our Newest Heartsaver Hero

Officer Andy DeYager was presented with a Heartsaver Hero pin for his willingness to put to use the skills he learned in a Heartsaver First Aid + CPR class with us recently.  If you don't know Andy, he's a pretty great guy who just happens to be a police officer and is married to one of our awesome instructors Kali, so this was a special moment for all of us.  

In Officer DeYager's own words, he tells us what happened that day:

"The call came out as a Full Arrest and I was closer than the FD so I decided to go. When I walked in, I saw a lady attempting to perform CPR on her elderly father. She appeared to be in distress, her compressions were not deep enough, and unfortunately did not look effective. I immediately took over for approximately 60+ compressions until Fire/EMSA entered the room and transported the patient to the living room. While in there, they were able to regain a pulse and his heart began beating unassisted."

We're so happy that Officer DeYager jumped into action and contributed to a team rescue with members from various agencies and even family members of the victim.  We're proud to call Andy part of the Heartland CPR family.  Great work Officer DeYager!
