I'll admit, I haven't taken a CPR class since I was a kid, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. However, it's an important skill to know just in case.

What is CPR?

CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. The American Heart Association writes:

[CPR] is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest.

Knowing this skill could literally save someone's life.

Searches for CPR Classes are Trending Up

Over the past month or so, searches for CPR classes have been trending up. My guess is because of all the activities happening this summer. Maybe something goes awry at the pool and someone needs CPR, something like that.

Where to Take a CPR Class in Rochester, MN

There are lots of classes offered throughout the year through different organizations in Rochester.

We won't go through the specific classes and dates because that would take FOREVER, but I will give you all of the resources so you can find the class that best suits you.

American Red Cross, of course, offers plenty of CPR classes in our area. I'm seeing prices between $46 and $123, depending on what kind of class you need or are looking for.

Another option is In-Pulse CPR. They only have a handful of classes available through July at the moment, but only one is sold out as of writing this.

We Care CPR is another place to take a CPR class in Rochester. As of writing this, there is only one class in June, but I would imagine more will be added as needed.

And finally, Heart Cert offers CPR classes, too. They offer CPR with first aid, CPR and AED, or basic life support.
