SOS Technologies Acquires CPR Connection of North America

Announcement from SOS Technologies:

We’re excited to share that SOS is expanding our footprint once again to Michigan with the purchase of CPR Connection of North America. CPR Connection has been delivering outstanding products and services to save lives in Michigan for a decade and it’s a tradition we’re proud to build upon at SOS.

The Clarkston, Michigan-based company was founded in mid-2006 by Sarah Gothard, an Emergency Room Nurse, with her husband, Brian, a Public Safety Officer. Through the Gothards’ management, CPR Connection has become one of the premier companies in Michigan for implementing programs for businesses, schools and the general public that are focused on CPR training, AED operation and first aid education.

From the Chicago area to Wisconsin to Minnesota, we love bringing our emergency life saving programs at SOS Technologies to all areas of the Midwest.

“We couldn’t be more pleased that we’re joining the SOS Technologies family with their superb resources. Like our team, SOS understands how critical the combination of education and action is to saving a life, particularly when a co-worker, friend or family member is experiencing Sudden Cardiac Arrest.”

-Sarah Gothard, Co-Founder, CPR Connection of North America.

More than ever, businesses all over Michigan will be able to benefit from the very same AEDs, CPR training and EMS supplies that companies in the Midwest have for over 40 years.
