Registration is now open for upcoming Basic Life Support (BLS) Initial Training courses that will be offered at Southern State Community College this summer. These courses are designed to equip healthcare professionals and other interested participants with the knowledge and skills needed to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies.
 
Developed by the American Heart Association (AHA), the courses will focus on delivering high-quality CPR both individually and as part of a coordinated response team and teaches participants how to save the lives of victims experiencing cardiac arrest through high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
 
Participants will learn essential rescue techniques for adults, children, and infants, preparing them to respond confidently in a variety of healthcare settings.
