The Disque Foundation has teamed up with edX to expand the reach of life saving skills training through our SaveALifeX courses. The mission of the Disque Foundation is to advance and provide health care education to underserved areas, both domestic and abroad. The SaveALifeX courses allows health care professionals to not only have their individual certification requirements met, but also to directly contribute toward providing education to those in underserved areas, thereby indirectly saving lives with this simple choice.

 

We have already seen first hand the positive impact this education can have on areas where it is needed the most, and the lives it has saved.
