Small Business Networking Opportunity

We will begin our OKC Small Biz networking group after the first of the year, meeting the second Tuesday of each month. Our first meeting will be Monday, January 8th @ 6:30 pm at Heartland CPR located at 11901 N MacArthur Suite #F2, OKC 73162.

Want to get plugged in with other small businesses and help one another? Send your business name and email and we'll add you to the distro to get more information! Our email is contact@HeartlandCPR.com.

I facilitated a small business networking group in late 2017/early 2018 with myself and other local small business owners and entrepreneurs.  I’ve had several people reach out to me about resurrecting some variation of that since small businesses are struggling in the current economic climate.  I thought I would reach out to those that were a part of that first; I also plan to include some small business owners and partnerships I have met along the way that could perhaps benefit, so feel free to invite others among your connections as well (and hopefully they will reach out with their info so we know who to expect).  I’ve personally done business with many of the small businesses represented and recommended others that I met this way; if we all did this as a first choice when needing an item or service, imagine how much small businesses in our community would benefit!  

My hope is to begin meeting after the first of the year since the holidays are never a good time to start something new.  My business is located in the area of NW 122nd and MacArthur, so we would meet there every second Monday evening at 6:30 pm after work.   Most networking groups I’ve been a part of collect dues in order to operate and get buy-in and ongoing participation from participants but I’d like to do all the good that comes of those without the financial commitment.  

My goal for this group is to cross-promote one another’s businesses, share resources and knowledge, and hopefully meet future customers.  I have some knowledge I gained as a graduate and 2017 alumni of the SBA’s Emerging Leaders program for entrepreneurs that I believe would benefit anyone owning or running a small business.  

If this is of interest to you and your small business, please respond with your email address and business information.  More to come...

The Importance of Knowing CPR

The Importance of Knowing CPR:

In today's fast-paced world, emergencies can strike at any moment, often catching us off guard. Whether it's a sudden cardiac arrest, choking, or drowning, being equipped with the knowledge and skills to respond effectively can make all the difference between life and death. This is where CPR certification plays a crucial role. In this blog post, we will explore the significance of obtaining CPR certification and how it empowers individuals to become lifesavers in their communities.

1. Immediate Response Saves Lives:
When a medical emergency occurs, every second counts. CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is a life-saving technique that can sustain blood flow to vital organs until professional help arrives. By obtaining CPR certification, individuals gain the ability to provide immediate assistance, significantly increasing the chances of survival for the victim.

2. Confidence in Emergency Situations:
Emergencies can be chaotic and overwhelming, causing panic and confusion. However, individuals with CPR certification are trained to remain calm and composed in high-pressure situations. This certification equips them with the knowledge and skills to assess the situation, perform CPR correctly, and provide the necessary aid until medical professionals take over. The confidence gained through certification ensures a more effective response, potentially saving lives.

3. Bridging the Gap until Professional Help Arrives:
In many emergency situations, the arrival of professional medical help may take several minutes. During this critical time, performing CPR can sustain oxygen supply to the brain and other vital organs, preventing irreversible damage. CPR certification empowers individuals to bridge this gap, offering immediate assistance and increasing the chances of a positive outcome.

4. Empowering Communities:
Communities thrive when individuals are equipped with life-saving skills. By obtaining CPR certification, individuals become valuable assets to their communities, capable of providing immediate assistance during emergencies. Whether it's at home, in the workplace, or in public spaces, having certified individuals present significantly enhances community safety and well-being.

5. Workplace Safety and Legal Requirements:
Many workplaces, particularly those in high-risk industries such as construction, healthcare, and hospitality, require employees to hold CPR certification. This ensures a safer working environment and demonstrates a commitment to employee well-being. Additionally, being CPR certified can enhance job prospects and open doors to various career opportunities.

Conclusion:
CPR certification is not just a piece of paper; it is a powerful tool that empowers individuals to save lives. By obtaining this certification, individuals gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to respond effectively in emergency situations. Whether it's within their own families, workplaces, or communities, CPR-certified individuals become invaluable assets, capable of making a significant difference when it matters most. So, let us recognize the importance of CPR certification and take the necessary steps to become certified, ensuring a safer and more prepared society for all.

Reflecting on 20 Years

As we welcome October, Heartland CPR celebrates 20 years in business.  When this business was conceived two decades ago, we called it Custom Training Solutions.  It came as a result of Brian, EMS Chief for Edmond Fire Department, coming home with an idea to keep his wife busy who had recently become a stay-at-home mom.  She had recently left a stressful management position to spend more time with her family, the family relocated from the country to the suburbs, and adjusted to live on a single income.  He got so many calls at work looking for AHA training that it seemed like a niche existed that wasn't being served well or consistently.  Initially we began teaching classes in our Surrey Hills home.  The intention was always to return to "a real job" once all the kids were in school and no longer needed her home.  Around the time that happened when the baby went off to elementary school, so much traction was being made that we had to carefully consider if abandoning what we had built was really what we wanted to do as we had so many return customers that wanted us to hang around...and even expand our offerings to include ACLS and PALS.  

We expanded our offerings, knocked a wall out to create an office when our oldest left home and continued to grow.  Next we built a larger home in a different neighborhood, specifically for the purposes of teaching classes; every detail of the floor plan was chosen so that our home could double as a training space.  That was a dream come true...until nine months into this arrangement, our HOA got involved and shut it down due to traffic generated and parking in our culdesac.  This unanticipated hiccup forced us to find office space since so many were still counting on us, bringing their friends, and recommending us like crazy.  Several large employers and schools had also gone so far as to choose us as the only trainer they trusted to certify their employees/students.  Finding what's known as a small business incubator, we moved our classes to NW 10th and Council in early 2011.  We added additional instructors besides Ginger and Brian.  Continuing to grow and grow and having the unexpected walk in customer with our sign hanging, we soon outgrew this space so renovated and moved into a much bigger space in the same business as we rang in 2015.  As that area deteriorated around us and the building sold to a very uninvolved landlord, we began looking for solutions again.  We found a nice space in a much better area near NW 122nd and MacArthur and moved there in late 2020 as COVID was running rampant and business was slow anyway; we quickly outgrew that suite and moved to a much larger suite in the same complex in late 2022.  This one gives us room to grow and we feel fits our needs perfectly with both a large and small conference room so we can host two classes at once.  We of course also travel to our customers who want to train their staff together as a group, so we have a staff of 16 instructors currently...many of whom are paramedics, EMTs, nurses, etc in their primary position, teaching for us on the side.  Most of our instructors started out as customers or were intentionally sought out based on a recommendation of another member of our team.  We carefully select every instructor and then treat them like family; we feel that gives us the cream of the crop and the best of the best.  Our customers seem to agree since we have some that have been with us most of the past two decades bringing their friends and colleagues, recommending us to employers and others in need of training.  

We've even added some classes at the request of our customers...PET Project (pet emergency training/pet first aid + CPR), PREP for ACLS & PALS for those needing a little help preparing for those advanced disciplines, and FA+CPR 4 Dummies (non-certification training for those that want to learn what to do but don't need costly certification).  We constantly upgrade our equipment and stay well ahead of mandates and ratios, even introducing a "female" manikin we conceived before the market had one available.  Our office is decorated with antique medical and fire equipment, somewhat resembling a museum of sorts.

We're not the cheapest and we will never try to be.  Quality training is what we stand on.  We have overhead and a full support staff.  That assures our customers that we're still around when someone can't figure out how to get their eCard a year from now unlike those instructors offering cheap classes that aren't compliant or saving money by issuing a Word document instead of the costly eCards required for legitimate training.  Times are tough for all small businesses right now and ours is no exception, but we'll either do it right and offer our customers exceptional customer service or we'll exit the market on top.  Want to experience the difference?  Book a class for your workplace or join one at our place soon!

Heartland CPR is Certified as a Small, Woman-Qwned Business?

 Heartland CPR is a small, woman-owned business recognized by the SBA and state of Oklahoma.  This designation helps governmental organizations to more easily do business with businesses of a certain group.  We have a DUNS Number, UEI Identifier, CAGE Code, NAICS Code and MPIN for any entity needing to report or check us out.

If you are a decision maker for a governmental agency where this distinction is beneficial, we would love to speak to you.  We go out of our way to do business with other small businesses and we hope you do too.  Without everyone making a conscious effort, small businesses will fade away and our only choices will be big box stores and mega corporations.  Thinking small makes a big difference!

Free CPR class

  Where can you learn CPR free of charge?

We get calls all the time asking where people can get a free CPR class, and we are tasked with telling people that they won't find a free class for those whose employment or educational facility requires certification. We usually explain that AHA materials are costly (and mandatory) for every participant, and the fee the instructor (or company) must pay for those materials account for about half of the fee charged for a given class. Since 99% of those asking must have the classes for certification, that's the end of the conversation.

BUT...if you are one of the few that simply wants to learn CPR for your own peace of mind and don't need a certification card, we have just the ticket!

 

Mark your calendars.  The next class will be offered at the Northwest OKC library near NW 122nd & MacArthur...Saturday September 2nd @ 9:30 am.  There is no catch...this is a free class offered to those who wish to learn simple steps they can take to respond in emergency situations and potentially save lives.  Instead of charging for this valuable training, we will be accepting donations for OKC Regional Food Bank, so please bring a canned food or non-perishable food item with you.  Since we need to know how many supplies to prepare, you must pre-register by contacting Heartland CPR via email "contact@HeartlandCPR.com" or by phone at 405-603-6666 and simply let us know your name, email address, phone number, and the number planning to attend…or self-register online at www.HeartlandCPR.com .  That's it! 

Remember, this is not for certification and targeted at those wishing to learn for their own peace of mind; if you are required to take a class for your employer or education requirements, this is not the class you need (although we can still help you with one of our American Heart Association classes taught throughout the month).  

--------------------

Heartland CPR has created a short, PowerPoint-based class covering basic First Aid and hands-only CPR.  We began offering what we call "First Aid 4 Dummies" (FA4D) to the public free of charge in 2015.  We make nothing by offering it and will utilize our equipment, instructors, and expertise; it's just our way of giving back to a community that has allowed us to be successful since 2003 and watched us grow into the premier training company in Oklahoma. 

Thanks for your interest in Heartland CPR!

A little about Heartland CPR, llc

Heartland CPR has quickly become the go-to choice in the OKC area and statewide for emergency training.  We offer AHA's Heartsaver courses for non-medical personnel as well as BLS, ACLS and PALS for Healthcare Providers.  We would be happy to get your recommendation when you are approached for training.  

Although our business has celebrated over a decade in business, my husband Brian has been a paramedic within almost every system in the Oklahoma City area and been an instructor for most of the past 30 years.  I have been an instructor and in business since 2003, and we have ten contracted instructors with combined experience as instructors as well as their fields of nursing and paramedicine well over half a century!  With a minimum of six participants, we will take training to our customers in the metro area; we will even travel state-wide for larger classes.  When there are smaller groups or individuals in need of training, we can accommodate those requests by combining individuals in order to make classes.  We always have those classes which are open to the public posted on the schedule on our website, www.HeartlandCPR.com, for the coming months offered at our OKC office location at NW 10th & Council.  

Formerly known as Custom Training Solutions, we have been providing AHA training in BLS, ACLS & PALS to various medical facilities and individuals since 2003 as well as Heartsaver First Aid, AED, and CPR for those in non-medical positions desiring safety training, and we have been committed since the beginning to personalized quality training.   We understand that your time and the time of participants is precious, so we do our best to cover the material in the most efficient manner possible; we don't simply aim to fill a mandated timeslot when everything of value has been covered.  The responsible use of your time is second only to our dedication to quality training and assuring that every participant certified with us has a genuine knowledge of the material.  Despite the occasional pleas from those "give us the test and let us get out of here" types, our dedication to our values are reaping us the rewards that come with the reputation that is known for quality rather than "cattle-herding", low-quality, quickie classes with unengaged instructors.  Seriously, our instructors are some of the best in the business.  We have so carefully selected them based on personally observed character and work ethic rather than just a resume on paper.   Paramedics and other BLS instructors approach us constantly about picking up work with us and that just isn't the way we operate.  When we want someone, we approach them...not the other way around.

We work with many reputable practices and facilities in the metro area including Northwest Pediatrics, Pediatrics Group @ Integris, KidsFirst After Hours Pediatric Clinics, Deaconess, McBride Hospital, Oklahoma Heart Hospitals, SpineCare of Oklahoma, Northwest Surgical Hospital, and Community Hospital and are the exclusive training provider of LifeShare, ProCure, SmileGalaxy, One Core Health/Orthopedic Institute, Laser Spine Institute, and Oklahoma Christian's nursing program (for more than a decade); our non medical clientele includes US DOT, US Weather Service, Johnson Controls/JCI, Cytovance, FMC Technologies, Reagan Smith Energy, Taylor Valve, and Asplundh Tree Experts.  We also participate as a skills session center for AHA's online courses if you encounter those that are interested in doing a portion of their training online.  

When our customers let us know that they were frustrated by a lack of consistent vendor choices in the area selling AEDs and accessories, we entered that market in 2011 to keep our customers serviced.  We have sub distributorships with Philips and HeartSine and can sell both brands to our customers at prices far more competitive than can be found locally or online.  AED buyers get 10% off their future training requirements.

Heartland CPR is BBB-accredited with an A+ rating and was honored with the Torch Award for the OKC area in 2014.  Ginger Davis was selected for SBA’s “Emerging Leaders” class and is a 2017 graduate.  We have been ranked “Best Of” Thumbtack and many local directories too numerous to mention. 

our mission

At Heartland CPR, teaching life-saving skills to others is our passion.

When it comes to required certification training, boredom shouldn't be the norm and laughing shouldn't be outlawed. We believe that learning can - and should - be fun!

our vision

At Heartland CPR, we endeavor to set the training standard by making learning fun, offering superior service to our customers, and retaining talented trainers who continually strive for excellence in their fields.

Pet First Aid Kits

By now, you know that Heartland CPR teaches Pet First Aid + CPR which we call The PET Project.  We also stock and sell a variety of first aid kits and other emergency supplies but, without a doubt, the biggest seller we have is our Pet-specific first aid kit.  Recently we made a mistake when we replenished and ordered a bunch of "deluxe" kits, then had them labeled and stocked before we realized our error.  The difference in contents includes a collapsable dog bowl and rescue leash.  Because all our printed materials and price lists detail the other (not deluxe) kit and we don't want to change all that, we're offering a special deal to work through this group so we can get back to consistently providing the same kit to all buyers.  The regular pet first aid kit we normally sell runs $55 and this one runs $10 more; however until this group is gone, we're offering them for just $60...and if you pick up at our office and we don't have to ship it, we'll do even better and sell it for $55!  So you're getting a deluxe kit for the price of a standard one!

We'll still have the regular Pet First Aid kits for sale, but don't miss this opportunity to get the deluxe version at a discount.  When these are gone, they're gone!

Want to be Better Prepared for a Choking Emergency?

 So you've taken training to learn all about abdominal thrusts (formerly known as the Heimlich maneuver) as well as how assisting a choking differs on an infant.  You've practiced your technique on a manikin.  You've even put some thought into what you'd do if you were alone and choking (such as dialing 911 from a landline even though you can't speak and then throwing yourself over a chair, into a protruding countertop or lowered tailgate forcefully).  But several new devices have been brought to market that offer an extra layer of preparedness for this frightening scenario.

After looking into a couple of the leaders in the market, Heartland CPR made the decision to offer our customers the one with the most positive outcomes.  LifeVac boasts 929 lives saved by their devices as of the time of this post.  They have a "hall of saves" where the story of each life saved is highlighted.  Each device comes with adult and pediatric sized masks in a "kit" designed either for home use or portable for diaper bags and first aid kits.  

We now have stock for purchase.  They run $80 shipped or $75 when picked up at our office.  This would make a great baby shower gift, gift for a young family or older couple, or just about anybody really.  Want to learn more?  Give us a call, shoot us an email, or place an order on our website today!

Do You Need CLEET Approved CPR Training?

Heartland CPR now have a CLEET number to reference when you take Heartsaver First Aid + CPR with us.  We need to reference that number in several places to be compliant with CLEET rules, so just let us know when you register that you are pursuing CLEET and we'll document appropriately.

We teach Heartsaver (non-medical) training about three times each month; usually a weekend, weekday, and occasionally offer evening training...something sure to fit any schedule.  Want to get on our distro list to be the first to know when classes are added to the schedule?  Reach out today and we can make that happen or provide a link to include in new hire paperwork!

Learn to Save a Life This Spring Break

 Where can you learn CPR free of charge?

We get calls all the time asking where people can get a free CPR class, and I am tasked with telling people that they won't find a free class for those whose employment or educational facility requires certification.  I usually explain that AHA materials are costly (and mandatory) for every participant, and the fee the instructor (or company) must pay for those materials account for about half of the fee charged for a given class.  Since 99% of those asking must have the classes for certification, that's the end of the conversation.  

Some agencies have received grants enabling them to purchase the necessary supplies to teach the most basic class, often called "CPR for Family & Friends", in communities; other groups have other revenue streams so this type of course keeps employees already on the payroll busy and their teaching skills sharp, usually on a quarterly  or bi-annual basis.  These very basic classes have different requirements than certification classes and allows instructors to teach a far greater number of students at once, which also means less overhead cost.  Even these very basic classes have become harder and harder to find without charge, so we are doing our best to fill that gap.  If you are one of the few that simply wants to learn CPR for your own peace of mind and don't need a certification card, we have just the ticket!

Are You Prepared for Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

Many people were horrified to witness Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) live during the Buffalo Bills/Cincinnati Bengals NFL game when Bills player Damar Hamlin went down on the field.  The good news of this stories how the teams and sportscasters rallied around, prayed for, and were too distraught to continue the game.  The scene that played out also highlighted that the quick actions of athletic trainers and EMS crew that literally saved a mans life and, as a result, he is now recovering in the hospital.  It highlighted the very real positive outcomes that having trained personnel who can jump into action quickly, an AED dispatched to the scene and put into use within minutes of the collapse, and the coordinated response by EMS and continued care upon arrival at the hospital can yield a victim of SCA. 

If you are rusty or need to learn the steps of CPR, the cost of a class and a couple hours out of your daily routine could net life-saving benefits of a family member, friend, or coworker.  If having an AED onsite at your place of business, club, or even home is something that interests you, we think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy to use and affordable they really are.  Chances are you have a fire-extinguisher at home or in your place of business and would welcome anyone to grab it should the need arise.  An AED is intended for use in the same manner...the faster it can be deployed, the better the victim's chance of intact survival.  No medical background or training necessary beyond a simply CPR class.  Remember that most cardiac arrest happens at home.  Are you prepared?  We can help!
