The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in BLS, ACLS and PALS and has developed instructional material for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational class does not represent course sponsorship by the AHA. Any fees charged for such a course, expect for a portion of fees needed for AHA course material, do not represent income to the Association.
The Suffolk County Dept. of Health Services, Division of EMS, through its duly executed contract with the American Heart Association as a training center, does not charge tuition or collect fees, except for those by the AHA for course participation and completion.
