Orlando, the county seat of Orange County, is a major metropolitan area in central Florida. The population of this city, however, faces several major health disparities. The rate of child obesity in Orlando is staggeringly high at 30%. County officials have become so concerned about this epidemic, that there are several resources available to help children raise awareness about and combat adolescent obesity. Additionally, the rate of uninsured individuals in this ethnically and racially diverse city is 18.8%, indicating a slight decrease of 2.8% since 2011.

Given the high rates of diabetes and obesity, combined with a lack of health insurance, many medical professionals in Phoenix are required to be certified in CPR, First Aid and BLS (Basic Life Support).

"CPR Select," with their flexible, hassle-free online programs, provides quality online training programs for Phoenix medical professionals wishing to become certified or renew their certifications.
