American Heart Association Certification
AHA BLS and ACLS Certification Courses
Sumter County, FL · Initial & Renewal · Same-Day AHA Certification
Cardiac Edge delivers American Heart Association BLS and ACLS certification across Sumter County — taught on the same AHA curriculum the region's hospitals, surgery centers, dental practices, and nursing programs require, with official AHA course completion cards issued the same day. Every session is led by Jason "Jay" Pellegrino, a 20-year paramedic who has trained more than 15,000 providers, so you learn the resuscitation standard from someone who has run it in the field — not read it from a slide. When your credential is on the line, that experience is the difference. We bring the training to your practice or facility, or we meet at a Central Florida training space we arrange and confirm when you book — initial or renewal, by appointment, on your timeline.

The Sumter County Difference
Official AHA Training Site
Sumter County, FL is the oldest county in America — a median age of 68.1, with nearly six in ten residents past 65 — and almost its entire economy is built on caring for that population. The Villages anchors it, and around that retirement hub sits a dense layer of primary-care and cardiology clinics, dialysis units, home-health agencies, senior-living staff, and the urgent cares and freestanding ERs that field cardiac calls all day long. In a county where so many patients are older and higher-risk, a clinician who can't run a code confidently is a real liability — which is exactly why current AHA BLS and ACLS certification isn't paperwork in Sumter, it's the baseline. The large systems train their own people in-house; the independent dentist offices, physical-therapy clinics, urgent cares, and doctors' practices scattered across the county mostly don't, and they're the ones left scrambling when cards lapse. Cardiac Edge closes that gap by coming to your facility, or training your team by appointment at a Central Florida space we arrange, with hands-on BLS and ACLS instruction built for the older, sicker patient load Sumter County actually sees. When the average patient walking through your door is past retirement age, your staff's readiness can't afford to be optional.
