Save-A-Life

What Save-A-Life does

Save-A-Life, Inc. is a privately-held American Heart Association Authorized Training Site founded in 1991 and headquartered in Aurora, Illinois. The company delivers AHA-certified CPR, First Aid, BLS, ACLS, PALS, Bloodborne Pathogen, Child Care CPR, and blended online-plus-skills courses directly to customer locations throughout the Chicagoland metropolitan area. All instructors are active licensed firefighters, paramedics, nurses, and EMTs, which the company positions as a quality differentiator versus typical classroom-only training providers.

The business operates a mobile, on-site professional-services delivery model: instructors and manikin equipment travel to the customer's site, scheduling is flexible to accommodate any class size, and students receive AHA certification cards — typically the same day — upon course completion. The product portfolio covers three primary buyer segments: workplaces and businesses needing OSHA-compliant CPR/First Aid training, Illinois childcare providers needing DCFS-compliant certification, and healthcare professionals needing BLS/ACLS/PALS credentials. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers engage via the company website or the [email protected] email channel to schedule classes and obtain quotes.

Save-A-Life is a small (26 employees), founder-owned Illinois corporation with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, or M&A history. Marketing is limited to a website plus direct email/phone outreach, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company self-claims the title of the oldest CPR training company in Chicagoland and emphasizes 33+ years of continuous operation and "hundreds of satisfied customers" as its primary intangible assets.
