CPR Certification in Oregon
Obtaining CPR certification in Oregon is easily achieved if you sign up for an online course that allows you to study materials and take the test from anywhere with an internet connection. You can rapidly earn certification or renewal in CPR / AED / First Aid, as well as certification in Bloodborne Pathogens, Babysitting, and Infant CPR certification.
Laypersons and medical personnel often save lives with CPR that would otherwise be lost. Getting certified in CPR, Infant CPR, AED, or First Aid could help you be a lifesaver in an emergency as well. CPR training has been required for high school graduation in Oregon since the 2015-2016 school year.
State of Health in Oregon
According to America’s Health Rankings 2016 report, Oregon ranks 21st in the nation for overall health.
Residents in the state need to watch for weight gain, as 30% are obese (and that percentage is rising), but only 18% don’t get enough physical activity which is a positive sign.
However, low immunization coverage among children and a rising rate of diabetes raise some concerns, as does the disparity in health status when looked at by income status.
On the upside, there is a relatively low number of cardiovascular deaths in the state. CPR training can greatly increase the chance of saving the life of someone in cardiac arrest by keeping them alive until an ambulance arrives.
