Outreach

The Quad Cities HEARTSafe Coalition provides free Hands-Only CPR trainings.

Hands-Only CPR is CPR without rescue breaths.
It is recommended for use by people who see a teen or adult suddenly collapse in an “out-of-hospital” setting; such as at home, at work, or in a park.

Quarterly Trainings

We are now hosting quarterly trainings at various locations and times for anyone to sign-up for FREE. Our next quarterly training will be hosted by the City of Bettendorf on Tuesday, November 12th. More information and registration coming soon.

This is a free training that does NOT lead to CPR certification.

Schedule Your Own Training

To schedule a 30-minute Hands-Only CPR training and/or coalition presentation for your workplace, rural community, church, school, university, or civic group, contact us via email, [email protected].

The Hands-Only CPR training includes the Family & Friends CPR Anytime kit with training DVD and manikin (pictured below).

For CPR certification, please contact our stakeholders at the American Heart Association or American Red Cross.
