Hands-Only CPR Training
Learn Hands-Only CPR in Minutes
Boulder Community Health’s highest priority is to ensure we do everything
within our control to maintain the safety of our patients, staff and the
overall community. This requires us to take every opportunity to contain,
control and reduce the impact of the COVID-19 virus. According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), limiting public gatherings
is a very effective tool for slowing the spread of COVID-19. We are following
that CDC recommendation and cancelling all non-essential public gatherings
intended for community members. This is effective immediately and includes
Hands-Only CPR classes.
We recognize that activities like community education programs and support
groups are highly valued by community members and the BCH staff who provide
those services. Accordingly, we have started a taskforce that is working
to identify alternative ways of providing such activities. We expect to
begin using such new approaches in the near future.
Thank you for supporting this effort to safeguard our community. I also
encourage you to visit the homepage of our website,
www.bch.org, for regular updates about COVID-19.
New dates are added regularly. Check back to future class dates and locations,

According to the American Heart Association, there are more than 356,000
out of hospital cardiac arrests in the US each year, nearly 90% of them
fatal. The good news is that CPR performed immediately by a bystander
can triple a person’s chance of survival.
