    2026 ACLS & PALS Courses

    2026 BLS Courses

    AHA requires all ACLS and PALS course students to have a current BLS Healthcare Provider CPR Card and that students be a minimum of RN, Physician, or Paramedic. These courses will be held in the Silver Cross Hospital Education Center unless otherwise indicated at time of registration. See our “Map/Directions” page. The Education Center is in a separate building just north of the ER.
  • If you have a question about a replacement card for a BLS/CPR, ACLS or PALS class you took at Silver Cross Hospital, call the Silver Cross EMS office at 815-300-7589, otherwise call the location where you registered. Only the instructor that issued the card can give you a replacement (for a fee).  

Check out the Region VII EMS Website for more CE opportunities and special events throughout the Region.

    Physicians on Silver Cross Hospital’s Medical Staff have expertise in their areas of practice to meet the needs of patients seeking their care. These physicians are independent practitioners on the Medical Staff and are not the agents or employees of Silver Cross Hospital. They treat patients based upon their independent medical judgment and they bill patients separately for their services.
