Please Note:
The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in BLS, ACLS, and PALS and has developed instructional materials for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the American Heart Association, and any fees charged for such a course do not represent income to the Association.
United Hospital Center uses AHA materials, which may be purchased by particpants through the training center on an "at cost" basis.
