<ul><li>CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a life-saving technique that helps maintain blood flow to the brain and heart in an emergency.</li><li>CPR IS LIFE SAVING. If you are ever in an emergency, the first step is to call 9-1-1. When you are a certified in CPR, you will be able to confidently and effectively apply skills to help aid the victim until first responders arrive and can take over.</li><li>CPR IS NOT PERFORMED ENOUGH. Less than half of those who suffer from cardiac arrest receive any type of CPR assistance from a bystander. </li><li>CPR IS EMPOWERING. Almost 85% of all cardiac arrests take place at home. Learn CPR skills for your spouse, child, parent, or friend. Knowing proper CPR will give you the courage and confidence you may need to take swift action.</li><li>CPR IS BETTER IN NUMBERS. The more people who know CPR, the more likely help will be available when needed. </li><li>CPR IS A WORK SKILL. Some occupations require certification, but many do not. Being certified may set your resume apart from the crowd and will certainly be useful and valued in any workplace.</li></ul>ASHI Certification Card – a card issued by the American Safety &amp; Health Institute (ASHI) is optional and usually requested with the BLS Healthcare Provider course; it is required by some employers. There is a $15 fee for an ASHI card (no charge for the OHFD card). Please let us know if this is a requirement for you/your employer and bring $15 to the class (exact change or check payable to Oak Harbor Firefighters Association; we cannot make change or process credit/debit payment).
