April BLS / CPR Classes Canceled  

In light of the continued focus on patient care coupled with the COVID-19 outbreak, the decision was made to cancel BLS/CPR (Basic Life Support / Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) classes scheduled in April.  Enrolled employees will be notified via email and withdrawn from the sessions. Given the ever changing environment, we have not reassigned people or added more sessions until we are sure when we will be resuming. 
 
The American Heart Association (AHA) has extended the expiration dates of BLS renewal cards by 60 days, so cards that expired on March 31 are now valid until May 31. The AHA has said they will monitor the COVID-19 situation and possibly make adjustments to that in the future.
 
The Talent Management team will continue to communicate as we receive updates. Thank you for your continued partnership during this time.
