Having worked in the medical field while teaching the AHA's curriculum she has developed a course program that is not only lot's of fun but it engages the students on a level they have not experienced before in a CPR class. The program is designed to accomodate every student from lay persons to medical personnel, we maintain our student to Instructor ratios so no question is left unanswered! Each and every student we have enjoyed in our class has said our course is the best class they've ever taken, it's what keeps our students coming back. Our program is not just a course in CPR it's a philosophy! "Give Someone the Chance of a Lifetime".

Kathy Harrison BLS InstructorKathy's background has always been in management - everything from American Greetings to having a production company (audio,video & website design) with her husband for the last twenty years. She had been searching for a new direction and knew that she wanted to be able to give back to her community and to somehow help people. She became a CPR instructor after witnessing a nearly fatal car accident. She pulled over to help a victim that was pinned when she realized she didn't know what to do except to call 911. That day stayed with her for a long time and she realized she never wanted to be in that situation again. Kathy joined the Instructor workforce to help others save lives and to empower them with the knowledge they need so they won't find themselves in a helpless situation.
