Small businesses come in many different forms. They can be your mom and pop dry cleaner, take out place or restaurant, a single brick and mortar boutique or online specialty store. They may also include your landscaper, daycare, plumber, hairdresser or other service person, who many of us rely on a regular basis. ACLS Academy is also a small business started by Shelley and Chad Lynch in 2014 having identified the need for more opportunities to train and educate the general public on the importance of proper CPR & AED use.
In the beginning it was just Chad and Shelley. But when they shared their vision, they soon gathered the education and experience of 12 other instructors from doctors, nurse practitioners, critical care nurses, paramedics, and coaches. After developing this network of instructors, who were as passionate as Shelley and Chad, and the synthesis of curriculum, staffing, and business plan came to be, a convenient location was found and the first classes were offered.
ACLS Academy has grown to three locations in Quincy, East Bridgewater and Newton Center with over 20 instructors serving many thousands of students annually. The business has grown to what it is now, one of the most prominent, respected and thorough AHA training sites in the Boston area. As small business owners whose catalyst was the need to make a difference, Shelley and Chad define success as creating a business that people want to come back to for additional education. They define their personal success as being proud that they provide a meaningful service that will leave the world a better place. This is the cornerstone for their company and what sparked the idea, helped them build from the ground up, and drives their passion to educate others of all backgrounds.
Shelley and Chad are proud to be a small business and thank you for your support!
