Yesterday AHA sent us a notice of important changes that went into effect immediately.

All Heartsaver card prices (including first aid and pediatric) were increased and the cost of books was decreased.  As we looked into it we found that the price per card was increased significantly.  The BLS card did not increase in price.

We have put in calls to AHA regarding our concerns but, since it went into effect before we were made aware, it looks like this is here to stay.

American Heart is now subsidizing a discount pricing on books by significantly increasing the cost of Heartsaver certification cards. Please contact an AHA supplier like Channing Bete or Worldpoint to order these discounted workbooks.

 

1. Price Increase by the AHA

This week AHA sent out a notification that they are discounting the prices on student Heartsaver books and significantly raising the prices on all Heartsaver cards (including Heartsaver CPR AED, Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED, Heartsaver First Aid,  and Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED).

We were not made aware of the coming change until it went into effect on October 3, 2017.

We echo the thoughts and concerns regarding this decision and ask that any questions be directed back by EMAIL ONLY.

 

2. Move to Ecards

In addition, as you aware, AHA is moving to Ecards and we have begun that transition so starting November 1st all member card orders will be Ecards only.

You are welcome to switch over to Ecards now.  The attached price sheet reflects the updated instructions for placing those orders.

 

You must use all paper cards by December 31st, 2017 as AHA will no longer allow the distribution of them starting January 1, 2018.
