Back to school CPR classes kicked off today. We got great feedback about the quality of the classes that we teach from the staff while teaching at NEMCSA in West Branch. Incredibly proud to be able to deliver quality and engaging courses that prepare every day heroes for emergencies in their classrooms.

There are still a few seats available in our CPR/AED/First aid class tomorrow in Prudenville. Over the next 3 weeks we'll be in 4 different school districts delivering the same high quality training and preparedness that we delivered today.

As we work through training teachers, coaches, and various school staff members we have one class open for the remainder of the month with seats available.

Tim is brilliant and delivers high quality training. The folks at Gerrish Township Fire/EMS are hosting this event and Stryker is providing lunch. Use the QR Code to register.

If you're looking for CPR Certification, start looking at your September schedule. I'd love to be able to come to your location or host a class for you in our office in Prudenville.

August is essentially completely filled on my schedule with the exception of a few slots for ACLS renewal. I'm feeling thankful for the great relationships that I've formed with various K-12 school systems, preschool/early childhood education centers, healthcare providers, and other instructors.

If you're still needing Certification in the month of August, get ahold of me. I'll see what classes I might be able to squeeze you into, and if not, I'll work to find an instructor who is able to accomodate. With 45 aligned instructors across Michigan, I'm positive that we can accomodate your needs.

What is that thing?! What does it do?!

It's called the CPR Wrap.

CPRWrap™ Aid is an innovative tool that helps make CPR easier. In an emergency, just remove the product from its quick-open package, lay it on the chest of the sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) victim, and follow the simple instructions.

Made with a non-woven fabric that is eco-friendly, this is more than a CPR mask. It provides visual prompts to guide the rescuer through the AHA-recommended steps of CPR. To ensure sanitary protection, the non-woven chest overlay includes a mouth-to-mouth, one-way breathing barrier, and face shield.

**You do not need to be certified to use, but intended for use by people trained in CPR by professionally trained personnel.

Game changer. Send me a message OR ask during your next CPR class about how to get your hands on one. They come in adult, child, and Infant sizes.

Let's talk statistics for a moment... it's a long read, but worthwhile.

356,000+
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the U.S. each year
The CDC uses this annual estimate to describe cardiac arrests that happen outside a hospital.

10.5%
Survived to hospital discharge after adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This is the overall result for EMS-treated, non-traumatic adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in 2024 U.S. data.

42%
Received bystander CPR before professional help arrived
The figure applies to adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in 2024 U.S. data.

12.6%
Had a public AED applied before EMS arrival
The figure applies to adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in 2024 U.S. data.

71.0%
Occurred at a home or residence
Public settings accounted for 18.0% and nursing homes for 11.1% of adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in 2024 U.S. data.

18.0%
Occurred in a public setting
This share is from 2024 U.S. adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest data; nursing homes accounted for another 11.1%.

7% to 10%
Estimated drop in survival probability for each minute of delay
The FDA describes defibrillation as time-sensitive for a person who remains in a life-threatening arrhythmia.

Preparedness is more than a purchase.
A public-access AED needs a known location, current pads and battery, and a simple inspection routine. The data on bystander CPR and AED use show why access and upkeep deserve attention alongside the device itself.

Placement has to fit the setting.
Most adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur at home, while public locations account for a meaningful share. Workplaces, schools, gyms, and community spaces need a location plan that makes an AED easy to find when seconds matter.

National figures do not replace local planning.
Local requirements, building layout, population, and response plans vary. Use this page as a factual starting point, then confirm the practical details for the people and place you are protecting.

A giant thank you to Tawas New Hope Church for having me out today to teach their staff CPR/AED & First Aid. I especially appreciate the opportunity to begin a class with prayer. This banner continues to be one of my favorite things to talk about. It seems that every time I talk about it anymore I get a little bit more emotional. I am so proud of this network of heroes that is developing around me.

It pays recognition to the time and efforts of those who spend time with us training to save a life. I love getting to talk about the Louisiana guys from Wikota Design, the man who's working in a gold mine in Alaska, the teachers, the coaches, the healthcare professionals, people who care for those at the beginning of life and those who are there to provide care, support, and comfort at the end of lives, other CPR instructors, the middle school students, and everyone in between that's entrusted me to take part in their training.

Thank you New Hope Church and thank you to everyone who's trained with us this year and in the past. Thank you to those who have scheduled with us in the coming months. I am so incredibly honored to get to share classroom space with you and add your Autographs and your stories to my banner.

Our schedule for the end of July and August is loading up quickly. Between BLS, Heartsaver, and ACLS I've got 10 dates scheduled on top of my regular EMS schedule. If you're looking for a class, lets see which one we can get you into.

Congratulations to Brandy Howe on driving the Black Cauldron Racing #78 to her first top 5 finish this past Saturday at Whittemore Speedway.

Plenty more opportunities to get to the track on a Saturday evening to watch the action in person. I might be biased but that grandstand side logo looks really good on the car.
