It seems that The Red Cross comes to everyone's mind after natural and man-made disasters befall our neighbors our friends and our nation. The recent and still occurring Hurricane Harvey has displaced Millions upon millions of residents in Texas and the South. Our nation's fourth most populous city, Houston inundated by relentless rain and flooding. The surrounding areas and neighboring States are next as this slow moving Hurricane releases Historic amounts rain and water. As I write this report, this monstrous disaster continues to still lumber across the South toward Louisiana and Florida. I could not believe the extent of the horrific heartbreaking damage and loss of property, until I viewed photos and videos of the heart-wrenching loss and witnessed The Bravery and the courage of so many who flew like angels to rescue so many millions. The American Red Cross is here to help all people who need them regardless of any condition. The wonderful volunteers provide them with a bed a hot meal a blanket Necessities to return to normal life. My Dear Yelp friends, You need not feel helpless. You can do something!

I have to tell you that these people are simply amazing! A fire last Friday the 1st of June at my…read moreCo/Op tossed about 25 of my neighbors out on the street. The Red Cross was at the scene about 5 minutes after the fire trucks and what an incredible job they did. As one of the temporarily displaced (I hope to be back in there in a few days once power is on) I have seen first hand just what these folks can do. We were all found rooms to spend the night, emergency provisions and of course, coffee and donuts. These incredible people are all volunteers - from the people who sat with the elderly victims to the people making coffee - all were incredibly wonderful. I urge anyone who reads this to make those donations - I always had in the past and now I can see just how worthy this organization is and how well spent the donations are.

My experience at Heart Strong CPR training met and exceeded my expectations for re-certification of…read moremy BLS and ACLS. Mishael is an exceptional person and was a pleasure to work with. As a physician assistant, I care for patients on a daily basis and It was a great bonus to be cared for in the same way. I felt very supported in this environment. Mishael went above and beyond for me and accommodated all of my needs and addressed any questions I had. She is true professional and her compassionate nature is the extra bonus! The course was well organized and ran smoothly. They even laminate your cards ;-) Her instructor Charles made the leaning process applicable to real life and it was the best ACLS class I have ever taken!! For material that was quite comprehensive he broke down into simple steps and it was fun at the same time. I would give this fantastic company 100 stars plus the moon if I could! Mishael and her team at heart strong CPR are first class organization and I look forward to working with them again in the future! - Allison RPA-C

I have been taking my BLS classes with CPR123 - Mineola for the past couple of years. The classes…read moreare suitable for both healthcare providers as well as non healthcare providers. They have several NY locations (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk) but I've only taken the Mineola ones as the times and location worked for me each time. I've had different instructors each class (all with healthcare backgrounds) but all of them were great. The class I took recently was with Paul. He was very knowledgeable and presented the information in a way that wasn't boring. Classrooms are clean with AC and working mannequins (they have lights that show if you're doing compressions correctly). There are also bathrooms available but I did not use them. You can book classes via their website or by calling them directly. I have done both with no issues. The staff at the front desk have always been pleasant. They will send you a confirmation email with more instructions so make sure you read that because if you're using GPS, it says to put Mineola and not Garden City. When I took my class, we were allowed to park on levels 1 and 3 marked for visitors. Check your email though in case that changes. Parking was free and plentiful. My class was on a weekday at 12:30pm. I've done all in person classes because I learn best that way so I can't comment on the online classes. I think with the online classes though you still have to come in to do the hands on portion. Once class is finished, you should receive the ecard within an hour or 2. If not, call them. Mine for some reason took 2 days but I didn't need it in a hurry. Cons: 1. There is no difference if you're doing an initial class or renewing. They used to have this option (renewal was cheaper and less time) but maybe it's just easier to have initial/renewal as the same. 2. There weren't much day and time options for the locations I was checking out (Mineola and Huntington) for July. It was either 8:30am or 12:30pm start. It would have been nice if they had some later start times or more weekend classes.

I keep…read morecoming back because I like that they have several locations I can choose from which means there are many time slots and days available for your needs and the instructors have always been excellent and experienced! Registration is super easy, now there's no difference between first time certification and renewal which is great. In the era of covid, I opted to use the Mineola site for the first time and it was nice. Parking lot available with limited spots but there is also metered street parking as well. Cali was the instructor and I've had prior classes with her, she's fantastic and keeps things straight forward. The 3-4 hour class flew by! Have also had classes with Mike and he was superb! They all have tons of experience in emergency resuscitation. I have been to the Forest Hills and Manhattan locations also- however parking bites and I usually take the subway but I do not want to take public transport to get there until covid is more controlled. Learn to save a life with CPR123!

Honestly I wanted to love this class so bad. I went into this class really excited to learn and…read moreabsorb as much info as I could. Let me describe my experience from the top- its held in a tiny closet of a room Im not exaggerating, it's a closet. No windows, barely enough room for a few people to sit in. Secondly, for the money I paid I didn't feel it was worth it. The course felt superrrrr rushed. I left not really feeling actually trained, rather just told what to do. I really didn't leave this course feeling any more confident than when I went in, which was a major bummer. I would say I don't know where all these awesome reviews are coming from however I do- they second you walk in they make you subscribe to their youtube and when you leave make you fill out a survey and really push leaving a google review. If your looking to take a rushed course in a closet where someone just tells you what to do, this is the course for you. However if you are looking to feel more confident and trained on your ability to perform cpr in high stress scenarios...i'd skip if I were you.

Thank you for accommodating me late notice!…read more The flexibility helped me out because I needed recertification ASAP. They are super accessible and booking a class is super easy on the website. As long as you can make it up there and have gps, it's awesome. You'll get to meet people who have a similar profession to yours more than likely. Plus they had apple pie last time I went. The session flew and it was precisely the refresher I needed. If you have extra questions or need more practice, they'll be more than happy. It's always a good idea to update your skills. Hope you never need to use them, but it's better to know what you're doing in case you have to.
