CemsCpr ~ Training that strengthens communities and saves lives.

Today, we had the privilege of teaching a CPR Instructor course at Spanish Fort Fire Rescue to an outstanding group of firefighters.

What makes this training especially meaningful is that these new instructors live, work, and serve right here in our community. They’ll now be teaching CPR, AED and First Aid skills to others—multiplying preparedness and strengthening our local response when seconds matter most.

Prestan Products were used to reinforce high-quality CPR and effective AED skills through realistic, hands-on practice.

CemsCpr is at the Cardiovascular Institute of Ultrasound in Mobile, Alabama, led by my colleague Bill Jackson!
Bill brings exceptional knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to every class, and it truly shows. His ability to connect with students and deliver high-quality instruction makes each session meaningful and impactful.

The students did an outstanding job today—focused, engaged, and committed to learning the lifesaving skills that will serve them throughout their careers in healthcare. It’s always great to see future professionals take CPR training seriously and perform at such a high level.

Proud of Bill, proud of the students, and proud to support organizations that value strong, effective emergency preparedness.

CemsCpr had the privilege of providing CPR/AED training for the Kimberly Clark team in Mobile, Alabama.
We have worked with this site for many years, and their continued commitment to safety and preparedness is always evident.

This class introduced the new 2025 American Heart Association Guidelines, and the team approached the updated CPR and AED skills with professionalism, focus, and a clear understanding of how critical these lifesaving actions are during a cardiac emergency.

We also utilized Prestan Products CPR manikins and AED trainers, which continue to play a key role in delivering high-quality, realistic training. Their feedback system helps ensure that every participant learns how to perform effective compressions—training that truly makes a difference.

I’m proud to support organizations that invest in lifesaving education and empower their teams to respond confidently when it counts.
Thank you, Kimberly-Clark, for your ongoing commitment to workplace safety. American Heart Association

“Making the difference” CemsCpr making the community stronger with the Port Authority Police in Mobile, Alabama. This was nothing short of outstanding! These officers showed exactly what it means to be prepared — not just to protect and serve, but to step in and save a life when every second counts.

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere. Early CPR and early defibrillation aren’t just skills… they’re the difference between life and death.

What truly stood out was the commitment from leadership. When leaders take the training seriously, they set the standard and everyone rises to meet it. And this team rose high — every single member gave their best, stayed focused, and performed exceptionally well.

Proud of their dedication. Inspired by their teamwork.
No one is exempt from learning how to save a life — and today, this team proved they’re ready.

I’m honored to share that I was selected to be part of Prestan’s new corporate video. As someone who uses their equipment daily across all levels of training—CPR, BLS, First Aid, Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)—it meant a lot to contribute to a company whose products truly support every aspect of lifesaving education.

Prestan manikins are reliable, multifunctional, and built to meet the needs of instructors who teach both basic and advanced courses. Their commitment to quality directly reflects the commitment we make as educators: to provide high-standard, realistic training that prepares people to act with confidence when it matters most.

With many years of experience teaching lifesaving skills, my mission has always been simple — strong training builds strong, prepared communities. I’m proud to partner with companies like Prestan who share that vision.

Thank you, Prestan Products, for highlighting real instructors, real stories, and the importance of high-quality equipment in CPR and advanced life support training.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Training Smarter with the Prestan 2000!

CemsCpr taught the first AHA ACLS 2025 guidelines! We used the Prestan 2000 Manikins with the Prestan App, and this system is a perfect match for the new 2025 AHA Guidelines. The app tracks rate, depth, recoil, hands-off time, and CCF—everything we now must document on the roster.

It connects to up to six manikins at once and gives real-time feedback that helps both instructors and students improve instantly.

The physicians all had the opportunity to experiexe the Prestan 2000 maniking and use the app for immediate feedback!

Each of them shared how valuable and eye-opening the data was, and all agreed that this technology is an important tool for improving CPR quality. When experienced providers recognize its impact, it reinforces just how essential accurate feedback is in every training environment.

High-quality CPR just got even easier.

As a former U.S. Navy Search and Rescue Corpsman, I was trained to be ready anytime, anywhere—to act fast when lives were on the line.

That same dedication continues today through Coastal Emergency Medical Skills (CEMS), where readiness is still the mission. Using Prestan Products CPR manikins, we help prepare everyday heroes to respond with confidence and skill when every second counts.

The uniform may have changed, but the purpose remains the same: to serve, protect, and save lives.

Today and every day we honor our veterans!

“Making the difference” with CemsCpr
~One push can change everything~

At Coastal Emergency Medical Skills (CEMS), we believe real confidence comes from hands-on training. Practicing with AED trainers help prepare you to act fast when seconds matter most — because early defibrillation can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival.

“Making the difference”
CemsCpr had another incredible day training with the Alabama Port Authority team !

In a sudden cardiac arrest, every second counts — recognize the emergency, call 911, start CPR, and use the AED fast.

These lifesaving steps, practiced through hands-on, realistic training, are what make the difference between tragedy and survival. Having AEDs in the workplace and people trained to use them is one of the smartest investments any organization can make.

Thank you to the Alabama Port Authority for leading the way in safety and preparedness across Alabama’s coast!

“Making the difference” After church services today, I had the incredible opportunity to train the ushers and support team at Saint Dominic Parish in the life-saving skills of CPR and AED use.
This dedicated group learned the latest American Heart Association guidelines and practiced hands-on skills that can truly make the difference between life and death during a cardiac emergency.

A special thank you to Reverend Patrick Driscoll for participating in the training and supporting the mission to create a safer, more prepared church community.

Every second counts — and today, this amazing team proved they’re ready to respond when it matters most.

Fairhope Takes a Bold Step Toward a Heart-Safe Community! ❤️

CemsCpr was honored to be invited by the Avive team to participate in the implementation of the new Avive Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for the City of Fairhope, Alabama.

The city has deployed 30 Avive AEDs across key locations — a major advancement in improving community readiness for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) emergencies. Every minute matters when a cardiac arrest occurs, and this initiative helps ensure that early CPR and rapid defibrillation are never far away.

Why this matters?
When a person experiences cardiac arrest, survival decreases by 7–10% for every minute without CPR and defibrillation. These new Avive AEDs help bridge that gap by being connected, intelligent, and accessible — allowing for faster response and improved coordination with emergency services.

About the Avive AED:
The Avive Connect AED is one of the most advanced devices of its kind — lightweight, compact, and Wi-Fi/LTE connected. It automatically shares critical data with 911 centers and first responders, helping them locate the nearest device and receive real-time updates during an emergency. It’s designed to save precious seconds when they matter most.

We’re proud to support the City of Fairhope in this forward-thinking effort to make our community safer and stronger. Together, we’re turning awareness into action — because every second counts. Want to learn more about the Avive AED, reach out to us!
