The instructor presented the material clearly and understandably, which greatly boosted my confidence. I particularly enjoyed the practical exercises with my colleagues. The learning experience was not only enjoyable but also highly relevant. A very well-organized and effective course that I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Organizations We've Trained
Why This Is Free

Because lifesaving skills shouldn't have a price tag.

When a heart stops in a sanctuary, in a classroom, in a break room, the first four minutes decide everything. If someone nearby knows CPR, that person comes home that night. If not, often they don't.

The 1,000 Hearts Initiative exists because that math shouldn't be decided by a budget line.

Rising Star Home Care Services funds every session ourselves. We're a Maryland-licensed home care agency, and every day our caregivers walk into families' homes during some of life's hardest moments. A parent with dementia. A spouse recovering from a stroke. An elder coming back from the hospital. We've seen what 90 seconds of preparedness can do. And we've seen what happens when no one in the room knows what to do.

So we made a promise: certify 1,000 hearts across Maryland, starting with the churches, schools, nonprofits, and small teams that already show up for everyone else.

No hidden costs. No sales pitch during the training. No follow-up emails trying to upsell home care afterward. You get a fully-certified team. We get to live our mission. Your community gets a little safer than it was last week.

That's the whole reason. We just want your people to be ready.

Our caregivers see what early action saves, and what happens when no one in the room knows what to do. So we pay for the training. For any church, school, nonprofit, or small team that wants it. No hidden costs, no sales pitch during the training, no obligation afterward. We just want your community to be safe.
