CTOhio

When most people think about CPR, they think about workplaces or healthcare settings, but the reality is that life doesn't always happen at work.

The people we care about most are often the ones we spend the most time with, no matter the setting. Knowing what to do in an emergency can make a difference wherever life takes you. The need for preparedness has a way of showing up when you least expect it. That's why CPR training is valuable for everyone.

Where do you think CPR knowledge would be the most valuable in your daily life? We'd love to hear your thoughts below

This business was built on one simple idea: training should work for the people who need it.

From the beginning, CTO has been rooted in service, community, and making training feel more approachable for the people and organizations we work with every day. What started through backgrounds in childcare, education, and community care has grown into something that has become deeply woven into family life, too.

This photo captures that so well. One of Tara and Joel’s daughters, growing up around trainings, CPR manikins, and conversations centered around helping others from an early age. Around here, service really does run in the family.

No matter how much CTO continues to grow, the heart behind it has always stayed the same: caring for people well and helping communities feel more prepared and supported.

What does feeling prepared mean to you? We’d love to hear your perspective.
