American heart association training opportunities:
ARE YOU PREPARED IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY?
Research clearly shows the sooner someone receives CPR and defibrillation from an AED after suffering from cardiac arrest, the more likely they are to survive. As an emergency medical service, we look to the community to help us by becoming trained in CPR and learning how to use an AED.
WE PROUDLY PROVIDE CPR TRAINING
It is our belief that all members of the community should be certified to perform CPR and know how to use an AED. Newark Arcadia EMS proudly certified as an American Heart Association (AHA) Training Site. Whether you’re an individual in the community, a medical professional, or a business owner looking to train your employees in CPR, our staff will work closely with you to setup a training program that allows you or your employees to help others in their time of need.
***The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in all AHA courses and has developed instructional materials for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the AHA. Any fees charged for such a course, except for a portion of fees needed for AHA course materials, do not represent income to the AHA.***
