CPR Certification in Alaska
CPR certification in Alaska can be easily obtained and at your own convenience when you study and take your test online. Any combination of CPR / AED / First Aid certification or renewal can be obtained, as well as complete certification online in Bloodborne Pathogens, Infant CPR, and even Babysitting certification.
Earning your CPR, First Aid, Infant CPR, or AED certification might help you save a person’s life in an emergency. Laypersons and medical personnel rescue thousands of people every year with the right training. Alaska does not have a state law requiring CPR training in school, but it may be offered at your school or district.
State of Health in Alaska
According to America’s Health Rankings 2016 report, Alaska has a very high percentage of the population lacking health insurance; a significant number of residents in the state are uninsured. Alaska also ranks in the bottom half of states for the number of primary care physicians in relation to the population, at 134.1 per 100,000 people.
Over the past 24 months, the percentage of adults in Alaska who smoke has decreased by over 15%; 19.1% of adults now report that they smoke, compared to 22.6% two years ago. While obesity in Alaska is just barely in the bottom half of the country at 29.8%, Alaska is 48th in the state in excessive drinking.
Taken together, these factors could pose a serious risk for more incidents of cardiac arrest; the state is near the bottom third in premature deaths. Only 66% of children in Alaska receive all their immunizations, and it is also 27th for infant mortality. All of these factors contribute to health issues later in life.
By completing an online CPR/AED and / or First Aid course, you can be prepared to handle an emergency health situation such as a cardiac event if one arises near you.
