The Lawson Group is excited to announce the expansion of its life-saving training programs with the addition of American Heart Association (AHA) Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, thanks to our Wellness Coordinator, Emily Cornwell, earning her AHA BLS Instructor credential.
Already certified to instruct in First Aid, CPR, and AED as well as Bloodborne Pathogens, Emily’s new qualification allows The Lawson Group to now offer BLS courses designed specifically for healthcare providers and emergency personnel—equipping them with the advanced skills and certifications needed to respond to critical, high-pressure situations.
“The addition of BLS training gives us the ability to serve an entirely new group of professionals,” Emily says. “While our traditional CPR and First Aid classes are ideal for the general workplace, BLS prepares people for the split-second decisions and coordinated team responses that are required in clinical and emergency care settings.”
First Aid and CPR training is designed for the general public and workplace settings, while Basic Life Support goes deeper to teach clinical-level response techniques such as:
• High-performance CPR for professionals
• Use of advanced airway equipment and barrier devices
• Team-based response scenarios
• Care for cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, and choking in adults, children, and infants
BLS is the gold standard for those in healthcare settings—from nurses and EMTs to dental professionals and medical assistants—ensuring they’re not only certified but also equipped to respond quickly and effectively in real-life emergencies.
At The Lawson Group, our goal is to help organizations create safer, healthier workplaces. By expanding our certification offerings, we’re making it easier for businesses, healthcare providers, and emergency teams across New England to access the tools and knowledge they need to respond effectively in life-threatening situations.
