About Us

The American Heart Association has established a network of Training Centers to broaden its outreach of Emergency Cardiac Care (ECC) educational programs and strengthen the AHA Chain of Survival. By training more people to do high quality CPR, use an automated external defibrillator, and integrate Advanced Cardiac and Pediatric Advanced Life Support into their resuscitation efforts, we know we can save more lives.  The Spencer Hospital Training Center (SHTC) was established for just that reason: to promote quality ECC programming, and strengthen the chain of survival in NW Iowa and beyond. By aligning with the SHTC we will strive to provide the instructor:
