History

Established in 1999.

Save A Little Life was started by Richard Pass, RN, BS. Richard’s nursing background and clinical experience includes years spent in practice in ICU and emergency departments in various medical centers.

Richard has been a basic and advanced life support (CPR) instructor for 23 years. His vision was «to bring a basic and user friendlyl course to parents and family members.» He believes that the days of long, drawn out classes with videos and written tests are a waste of time. «Getting to the point in our classes is of the utmost importance. Our parents need to know just what to do if there is a choking, drowning or other life-​threatening event happening right now.»

As early as the year 2000, Richard teamed with The Pump Station in Santa Monica and has been their only CPR instructor since that time. «We offer courses in both English and Spanish at many of our locations for those who’s first language is Spanish.

Richard P.

Business Owner

Richard is originally from Los Angeles. He left the southland in his early twenties for a new life in Portland, Or. He and his wife, Christine, lived in Portland for nearly 15 years. During that time he finished his nursing studies and worked for several medical centers in cardiology and emergency nursing.

Richard and his family returned to the Los Angeles area in the mid ‘80s and purchased a home in the San Fernando Valley. His experience in nursing allowed him to join the Cedars-​Sinai Medical Center staff in the emergency department and in the cardiology division.

After years of practice, he turned his focus toward education. Adding another degree (Health Education) from CSUN he began looking for ways to teach, both at the medical center as well as some form of community based programs.

Richard’s two grown daughters live in the L.A. area and in 2011 he and Chris were presented with their first grandson, Drake, now 15 months old, live nearby, providing a new sense of joy.
