For gyms, dental offices, daycares, doctor's offices, construction companies, and any business with employees...

If an employee performs CPR on a customer today and something goes wrong, can you prove your team was trained to a clinical standard?

Most business owners cannot! Not because they skipped the certification, but because they picked the wrong provider.

Keep reading to know what that decision is actually costing you, and how Dr. Karen McKahan fixes it, without pulling your team out of the building for half a day.

Dear Business Owner,

Every year, thousands of businesses check the CPR certification box. They find a provider, schedule a class, pay the fee, and file the cards.

And every year, those same businesses assume that because they have the cards, they are covered.

Most of the time, nothing happens. But when something does, the question is not whether your employee had a card. The question is whether the training behind that card was credible enough to hold up under scrutiny, from an insurance adjustor, a licensing board, or an attorney.

A certification from a 30-year RN and healthcare administrator with 20 years at Atrium Health answers that question very differently than a certification from a provider whose instructor completed a weekend course.

That is the difference between a checkbox and actual protection.

And it is the reason business owners who have trained with Dr. Karen McKahan do not go looking for another provider when renewal comes around.

What you are actually buying

When you schedule a CPR certification for your team, you are not buying a piece of plastic. You are buying three things, whether you realize it or not.

Confidence
The confidence that if it happens in your business today, someone in that room will actually know what to do. Not what the textbook says. What actually works under pressure, in a real room, with real adrenaline and real chaos happening around them.
Documentation
The paper trail that shows your team was trained by a credentialed healthcare professional, not an anonymous national provider. When an attorney or insurance company asks who certified your team, the name on that paperwork matters.
Peace of mind
The kind that comes from knowing you did not cut a corner on the one thing in your business that could involve someone's life.

Dr. Karen McKahan delivers all three. And she does it at a price that is less than what the national providers charge for the card alone.

Star rating across all student reviews

Dr. McKahan brings over 30 years of active nursing experience and 20 years as a healthcare administrator at Atrium Health to every class she teaches. She has trained thousands of students across her career, from solo professionals to full clinical teams.

In healthcare circles, she is what is known as a "cleaner." A contracted specialist brought in to enter failing facilities, identify what was broken, pass regulatory surveys, and restore safe operations. Environments dealing with contamination, compliance failures, and patient safety crises.

She also brings something no national CPR provider can offer: a multi-layered sanitation protocol developed in a live dialysis unit during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wipes, Lysol, and medical-grade ozone treatment on every piece of equipment, every class. The same protocol that kept her dialysis unit at zero COVID cases for four consecutive months while the rest of the healthcare system managed outbreaks.

For dental offices, daycares, and gyms, that is not a small detail. That is a material difference in the risk your team is taking when they walk into a training room.

The real cost of the wrong provider

Now let's talk about the part most providers never mention: the cost of pulling your team out of the building.

Run the real numbers for a moment.

A national CPR provider charges $125 per person. For a team of eight, that is $1,000 before anyone has left the building. Then add the half-day of lost productivity as your staff drives to a training facility, sits through a class, and drives back. For most businesses, that lost time costs more than the certification itself.

Dr. McKahan comes to you.

She schedules around your hours. Your team does not leave the building. There is no drive time, no half-day absence, and no disruption to your operations. And at $70 per person for on-site training, a team of eight costs $560 total, nearly half what the national providers charge before the hidden book fees.

If your team prefers to come to her facility, the rate drops to $60 per person. Every material is included. No e-book upsell. No surprise charges at checkout (those are the complaints Dr. McKahan hears constantly from students who trained with larger providers and felt nickel-and-dimed on the way out the door).

One more thing that separates her class

Dr. McKahan deliberately recreates the chaos of a real cardiac event during training. Not the textbook version. The real version, with noise, pressure, stress, and the kind of distraction that causes people to freeze when it actually happens.

Because a cardiac event in your gym, your daycare, or your dental office is not going to happen in a quiet room with a patient instructor watching calmly from the side. It is going to happen fast, with everyone looking to whoever got certified last, hoping they remember what to do.

That is the person Dr. McKahan trains. Not just to pass a test. To actually perform under pressure.

Wonderful instructor. Made class enjoyable.

Katelyn McElfresh

Her students have given her a 5-star rating across the board. Not because the class is comfortable. Because the training is real, and they leave knowing they can actually use it.

Getting started takes one conversation
1

Tell her how many people need certification and where you are. She will tell you whether on-site at your location or at her training facility makes more sense for your team size and schedule.

2

Schedule at a time that works around your operations. Not around her calendar. Your business does not stop running because your team needs a certification renewal.

3

Your team trains, you get back to work. Certified by a 30-year healthcare professional, on clinically cleaned equipment, with all materials included, at a price that is less than the national providers charge per person.

You already know your team needs to be certified. The only real question is whether the certification you are getting is the kind that actually protects your business, or just the kind that fills a slot on a form.
