CPR Certification in Mississippi
CPR certification in Mississippi can be completed with an online course that allows you to study and take your final certification test from anywhere as long as you have an internet hookup. You can earn certification or renewal in CPR / AED / First Aid, as well as certification in Bloodborne Pathogens, Babysitting, and Infant CPR certification.
CPR and AED knowledge can save lives. In many cases, death from a cardiac event happens because aid did not arrive in time. Chances of survival go up if the patient makes it to the hospital. Getting certified in CPR, Infant CPR, AED, or First Aid could mean being a lifesaver in an emergency. CPR training has been required for high school graduation in Mississippi since the 2015-2016 school year.
State of Health in Mississippi
According to America’s Health Rankings 2016 report, Mississippi ranks last out of 50 states in the nation for overall health. While there is a comparatively low rate of drug deaths and prevalence of excessive drinking, and small disparity in health status by educational attainment, residents face many challenges.
Mississippians have a high prevalence of smoking, high percentage of children in poverty, high prevalence of low birth-weight, and the obesity and physical inactivity percentages are among the highest in the nation.
Diabetes has increased 19% from 12.4% to 14.7% of adults over a four-year period. 22.5% of adults in the state are smokers. All of these statistics put those affected at risk for a cardiac event.
