BLS provider courses
Legacy Health is currently using the AHA blended learning option for BLS certification which involves two parts. Part one consists of the completion of the HeartCode BLS online course. Part two requires attending an in-person skills validation session. Once both components are successfully completed, the BLS certification eCard is issued.
For those who are not healthcare providers, please email Legacycpr@lhs.org for information regarding the AHA Heartsaver CPR/AED certification classes.
Legacy Health is NOT currently offering traditional classroom BLS certification courses.
