🚨 Anthony Kidd’s American Heart Association Loophole: Is Hale CPR His Next Front? 🚨

March 12, 20253 min read

Anthony Kidd should be completely shut out of the CPR training industry.

🚨 BANNED TWICE by the American Red Cross (Nov. 2023 & Nov. 2024).
🚨 STRIPPED of his Training Center & Instructor Trainer status by HSI (Sept. 2024).
🚨 EXPOSED for running fraudulent CPR training businesses.

And yet—he’s STILL an American Heart Association (AHA) instructor.

💥 How? Because Hale CPR, an AHA Training Site, issued him an instructor certification WITHOUT him ever holding a valid base-level provider certification! 💥

🚨 This is a direct violation of the AHA Program Administration Manual (PAM), which explicitly states that an instructor candidate MUST have a current, active provider certification in the discipline they want to teach. 🚨

🚨 Kidd never held an active, inactive, or unclaimed base-level certification—so how did Hale CPR approve him? 🚨

This isn’t just a loophole—this is a complete breakdown of the AHA’s instructor approval process.


📌 The Smoking Gun: No Base-Level Certification, No Eligibility

How did Hale CPR approve Anthony Kidd as an AHA instructor when he didn’t even meet the most basic requirement?

💡 To become an AHA instructor, the PAM clearly states that a candidate MUST hold a CURRENT base-level provider certification in the same discipline they wish to teach.

Active base-level certification → REQUIRED
Inactive base-level certification → NOT ACCEPTABLE
Previously held but expired base-level certification → NOT ACCEPTABLE
Unclaimed base-level certification in the AHA system → NOT ACCEPTABLE

🚨 Kidd had NONE of these. 🚨

🔴 No active base-level AHA certification.
🔴 No expired base-level certification.
🔴 No unclaimed base-level certification.

💥 Yet, Hale CPR STILL issued him an instructor certification.

🔎 See the proof: No record of Anthony Kidd holding a valid, expired, or unclaimed base-level AHA certification.

🚨 This is an undeniable violation of AHA policies. 🚨


🔥 Hale CPR: A Training Site Enabling Fraud?

Hale CPR isn’t just any AHA Training Site—it operates under Allied 100, a division of Cardio Partners, which is owned by Sarnova, Inc.

🚨 How many times is Kidd going to slip through the cracks before national organizations take action? 🚨

If Hale CPR allowed a banned, unqualified fraudster to obtain an AHA instructor card, how many other unqualified people have they approved?

🚩 What This Means for AHA Certifications Issued by Kidd

If Kidd never had a base-level certification, his instructor status is completely illegitimate.

💥 That means EVERY certification he’s issued under AHA is INVALID.

🚨 How many students thought they were receiving proper AHA training but instead got certified by a fraud?
🚨 How many healthcare professionals are walking around with certifications that shouldn’t exist?

🚨 Every single certification Kidd has issued under AHA needs to be reviewed immediately.

This isn’t just a scandal—it’s a potential liability for AHA, Cardio Partners, Allied 100, and Sarnova.


🚨 The Industry Must Act NOW 🚨

📢 We are calling for:
Immediate revocation of Anthony Kidd’s AHA instructor certification.
A full audit of ALL certifications issued under his name.
A public response from AHA, Hale CPR, Cardio Partners, Allied 100, and Sarnova explaining how this happened.
An immediate suspension of Hale CPR’s ability to approve new instructors until their vetting process is reviewed.

🚨 The CPR industry cannot afford to let a known fraudster continue issuing invalid certifications. 🚨

💡 We will keep exposing the truth until every loophole is closed. Stay tuned.
