Western Baptist Hospital is designated as a regional CPR training center for the American Heart Association. CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) that is performed properly and promptly can give a heart attack victim time to receive treatment by advanced medical techniques.

CPR Instructors affiliated with Western Baptist Hospital's Community Training Center can access forms and other resources through the Instructor Resource page.

CPR for Healthcare Professionals is also available, including Basic Life Support (BLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP), as well as instructors' courses and renewal.
Family and Friends CPR Courses teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation without issuing a certification card. This course is designed for people wanting to learn CPR but do not need proof of completion for their work.  The Pediatric Family and Friends Course teaches techniques for infants and children from birth through 8 years of age.

The Pediatric Family and Friends Course is held at Western Baptist Hospital.  Cost is $10 or free if having your baby at WBH. Classes are from 6 pm until 9 pm.
