CPR Certification in Virginia
Obtaining online CPR certification in the Virginia can be accomplished from your home with an online CPR course. Such courses may cover CPR / AED / First Aid certification or renewal, as well as certification or recertification in Bloodborne Pathogens, Babysitting, and even Infant CPR certification.
Having certification in CPR, Infant CPR, AED, or First Aid could mean the difference between life and death. Laypersons who have CPR training have been saving lives every year for decades. CPR training in Virginia has been required for all students graduating high school since the 2016-2017 educational year.
State of Health in Virginia
According to America’s Health Rankings 2016 report, Virginia ranks 19th out of all 50 states for overall health. Virginia has a low rate of drug deaths, a low prevalence of frequent physical distress, and a low percentage of children in poverty. However, the state's population is challenged by a low percentage of primary care physicians compared to population, a low level of high school graduation, low immunization rates among both children and adolescents, and a disturbingly high disparity in health care based on education status.
In the past few years, smoking has decreased among adults, but diabetes rates have risen. There have been fewer infant mortalities, which bodes well for the future of Virginia. However, almost 30% of the population is obese, and over 25% don't get enough physical exercise. These are markers for potential cardiac events, which could mean lives could be saved with timely CPR aid.
