My first job, at the tender age of 13, was a medical receptionist at Friendly Urgent Care. Now, a wife and mother of 3, nuturing and caring for others makes up my DNA. With over 17 years in the medical setting, I teach others how to potentially save a life using the skills of BLS, even those with no previous medical background.
Classes are vocal and engaging. They are designed to give you a real time adrenaline rush. A real life panic will set in first, BUT THEN, the knowledge will kick into gear.
After completing this course, my hopes are, that you walk into the world confident in knowing you could make the difference in a family member, friend or even a strangers life!
