About CPR123
CPR123 is an official training center for the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics. We have been offering essential life-saving programs for both medical professionals and non-medical personnel in the NY tri-state area since 2006 (we were previously known as Health Force Solutions).

Our Training Philosophy
Our distinctive approach to training maximizes the learning potential for both adult and adolescent learners. We structure our student’s classroom time to obtain a level of understanding and proficiency needed for certification. Our courses use state-of-the-art equipment accompanied by hands-on exercises and lectures by American Heart Association and American Academy of Pediatrics instructors with over twenty years of field and teaching experience.
We maintain the flexibility to accommodate our clients’ needs whether at one of our New York-based training centers or on-site at our client’s location.
