Heart Start

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine. _{Proverbs 17:22}

Heart Start of Central Ohio, Inc., was founded in 1987 as a Basic Life Support Training Center for the American Heart Association (AHA). Since that time, Heart Start has expanded to become a cross training center, also offering courses for the American Red Cross (ARC) and the American Safety and Health Institute (ASHI). Since its inception, Heart Start has remained committed to providing quality courses in CPR, First Aid, and various other community safety and awareness programs.

Heart Start trains over 14,000 students annually, ensuring healthcare providers and lay rescuers both are well equipped with the skills to respond appropriately in an emergent situation. We can offer you, your business, or your group a comprehensive training program with courses which meet all local, state, and federal requirements, and which are recognized by all state agencies and licensing boards.

Heart Start has partnered with Training Education Specialty Group (TESG) to provide a wide selection of courses to meet all your training needs.

Heart Start provides many Basic Life Support Classes each Saturday at our training center in Gahanna, Ohio. Courses are offered for lay rescuers and healthcare providers. Those who wish to participate in a Saturday class must pre-register no later than 12 noon on the Friday prior to the Saturday class date. Pre-registration may be completed by calling the office at 614-471-6151. Classes start promptly at 9am each Saturday. Students are advised to arrive early to complete registration.

Course participants are advised to wear loose, comfortable clothing. Practice sessions will be conducted throughout all CPR courses, including practice time on the floor.
