What is Mission CPR?
The Mission CPR program reflects the initiative of UMass EMS to raise awareness about sudden cardiac arrest and to certify individuals in both the UMass campus and the surrounding community.
The UMass EMS Mission CPR Program offers three certifications under the Emergency Care and Safety Institute (ECSI).
Our classes are taught by EMTs who are certified at both the state and national level, and who have received additional training and certifications in CPR instruction. Each one of our instructors takes pride in giving each student an enjoyable and highly educational experience.
Anyone is welcome to sign up for a CPR/AED certification class!
All classes can be paid for via cash or check written out to UMass Amherst EMS
Any group wishing to register a private class (10 or more people) can email Lily Swansburg (UMassEMSMissionCPR@gmail.com) for more details!
