MEET KEALIE!

She is the reason WHY for instructors Lori and Zach. Kealie was born in 2003 with a rare lung issue, called Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension. This caused her lungs to not work as they should. She was born at one Rockford Hospital but was quickly transported to Mercy Hospital (formerly Rockford Memorial Hospital)

During her time at the hospital CPR was conducted at least three times on her.

Today, Kealie is an instructor with Northern Illinois CPR and First Aid and enjoys teaching students the very skills that saved her life.
