Family and Friends CPR
The American Heart Association’s Family and Friends CPR teaches adult hands-only CPR, CPR with breaths, child CPR with breaths, AED use on the adult and child victim, infant CPR, and airway blocks in the adult, child, and infant victims. This course combines instructional videos and hands-on skills practice to practice high-quality CPR.
Hands-Only CPR Events
Learning two simple steps could help you save someone’s life: Call 911, then Push Hard & Fast. Our hands-only CPR events are designed to teach CPR skills in minutes. Our hands-on CPR events are an excellent option for community events such as health fairs, community days, etc. We bring the equipment, instructors, and education to you!
AED Awareness and Implementation
Immediate CPR combined with applying an AED dramatically increases survival rates among cardiac arrest victims. Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are safe and easy to use. Through partnerships with local officials and organizations, the goal is to increase public access to AEDs and provide support in implementing these programs.
AED Donation Program
More than 15% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in a public location; therefore, public-access automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and community training have a significant role to play in early defibrillation. However, the number of patients who have an AED applied by a bystander remains low, occurring after only 10.2% of public arrests. Cooper University Health Care proudly embraces its community partnerships with surrounding groups, businesses, and entities committed to enhancing health and well-being in New Jersey and beyond. With these values in mind, Cooper University Health Care is proud to offer this AED donation program and related training to its community partners. By implementing this donation program, Cooper University Health Care hopes to share its mission, “to serve, to heal, to educate,” with its community partners and their constituents.
