In March 2024, In-Pulse CPR partnered with others to bring lifesaving CPR and First Aid training to Jimaní, Dominican Republic, a small town located just four minutes from the Haitian border.

With donated manikins from the American Heart Association, the In-Pulse CPR team trained approximately 30 staff members from RTS Missions, a highly active mission organization serving the people of Jimaní. RTS Missions provides tutoring, medical care, meals, and spiritual support to the community, especially to those fleeing the violence and hardship in Haiti. Many arrive hungry, injured, and alone. RTS goes far beyond meeting physical needs by building caring relationships with people who have endured unimaginable circumstances.

In addition, In-Pulse staff trained approximately 30 church leaders in CPR. Although Jimaní has a 911-type emergency system, it is often unreliable, and many people are denied timely medical care. Because of this, equipping community members to respond in an emergency is vitally important.

Along with the donated manikins, the American Heart Association also provided blood pressure devices for the RTS clinic and the surrounding community. We are deeply grateful for the way the AHA came alongside this meaningful effort. In-Pulse CPR plans to continue supporting RTS by providing ongoing training for its medical staff.
