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 at the Silvis Larson Center on Wednesday, May 29th. More information and registration coming soon.
Space is limited. 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.
