American Heart Association (AHA) Training:
PPS’s AHA training center offers courses that provide students with lifesaving skills for both in and out of hospital emergencies. CPR is a simple, life-saving skill that can significantly impact the outcome for both family members and patients. Since 80% of cardiac arrests occur outside of healthcare settings, it’s often your family, friends, and coworkers who can save your life.
