Whether you need CPR certification to fulfill a job requirement or you simply want the knowledge to know what to do in an emergency, RiverView Health has a class for you. RiverView offers two CPR classes on the second Thursday of each month – one for certification and the other provided free of charge for general knowledge.
RiverView’s HeartSaver CPR AED (automated external defibrillator) class is for those needing certification. The cost is $55, which includes the HeartSaver CPR AED eCard and book. This class is four hours long (6:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.) and includes a test at the end of the session.
The Friends and Family class is for those who do not need certification. Thanks to the generous support of Crookston American Legion Post 20, this class is free of charge. Participants will learn basic information about what to do in life-threatening situations and will receive a Friends and Family CPR book. This class is four hours long (6:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.); no test or card is given at completion.

All classes are held in the RiverView Home Care Building, 721 S. Minnesota Street, Crookston. Registration is required, and payment for the HeartSaver class must be made at the time of registration. To register or for more information, call 281-9536.
RiverView offers these classes as part of its American Heart Association (AHA) Community Training Center. Contracted Community Training Centers, like RiverView, are the only sites permitted to offer AHA classes to the public and professionals through their affiliated instructors and programs.
