Hello! We are pleased to meet you! LEARN CPR was founded in 2019 by our owner and CEO, Rachel Rexroad. Rachel is a professional firefighter and paramedic who has worked for several Cleveland suburb fire departments. She currently is employed at a local Akron suburb fire department. After witnessing several calls where a patient needed CPR, an AED and didn’t receive it because the bystanders were unsure of what to do. The cries, the sobs, and the heartbreak from the patient’s family members were enough for her to realize that something needed to be done. That’s how LEARN CPR was started.
LEARN CPR is just what the name implies. We will teach you how to perform CPR, how to use an AED, and more importantly how to handle a cardiac arrest emergency. Our instructors are nurses, doctors, and paramedics, their professional experience allows us to add realism to our training classes. However, not all our instructors are medical professionals. Some have personal experiences that led them to realize the lack of CPR/AED awareness and education.
By providing realistic training scenarios and hearing our personal experiences, you will leave our class feeling confident to recognize an emergency and provide lifesaving skills. Our mission is to educate, empower and encourage people to learn CPR and utilize an AED. With these goals, we can create safer and healthier families, homes, workplaces, and communities.
