Coach Mike Garland's Story
Leading the charge
Former MSU Assistant Head Basketball Coach Mike Garland knows firsthand the power of CPR. In 2022, he suffered cardiac arrest while driving. His life was saved thanks to two passersby who performed CPR until emergency personnel arrived.
COH was founded by Garland to ensure every community has the training and equipment needed to save lives.
"I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for them. Now, I want to make sure more people know what to do in an emergency."
