DIXON — A Sterling woman’s business is teaching people how to save a life, one class at a time.
Stephanie McLean is a registered nurse and an American Heart Association-certified CPR and first-aid instructor who previously worked for KSB Hospital in Dixon. Her business, Sauk Valley CPR, provides online and in-person classroom instruction on CPR, first aid, Heart Saver and Basic Life Support for healthcare worker classes, automated external defibrillator training, recertification services and more.
McLean opened Sauk Valley CPR in July 2023 after witnessing a need for the service following the retirement of several instructors in the area.
