Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

    Automated External Defibrillator (AED) (Act 35 of 2014)

    School Health Corporation has COSTAR contract pricing for all AEDs. For more information, contact Joanne Nicholas at 800-323-1305, ext. 7987 or Kristi Leahy at 800-323-1305, ext. 7943.

    CPR Certification Required for School Nurses (Act 107 of 2014)  

    The list of approved courses* (updated August 2021) has been approved by the Bureau of EMS list for emergency medical providers. A valid Instructor card representing any of the approved courses is also acceptable. *Please note some of the approved providers have changed the name of their courses. The course names will be updated when that information is made available to school health. The providers listed are still the approved providers and the courses by their new names are still the approved courses and may be used accordingly. It will take longer for the course names to be updated in SHARRS so use the provider name to choose the course taken.
