About Comfi-Kare CPR: In-Person AHA CPR & BLS Classes in Maryland

Comfi-Kare CPR is an American Heart Association Training Site offering in-person Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), AHA Heartsaver and CPR for healthcare providers across Maryland, with classrooms in Silver Spring, Rockville and Frederick.

Since most cardiac arrests happen at home or outside hospitals, knowing how to respond is critical. Our courses teach you to recognize emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, and use CPR, rescue breathing, and AEDs effectively.

With years of offering courses in Maryland, we’ve earned a strong reputation for reliable training. All classes are taught by current American Heart Association (AHA) Instructors, giving you hands-on skills and the confidence to act when it matters most.

Our programs are open to everyone—from healthcare providers and public safety professionals to parents, teachers, and community members.

Meet Your Instructor

Magna Johnston, RN

Magna Johnston-Bucknor, MSN, CMSRN, CSA

Magna is a Registered Nurse and Certified Senior Care Advisor whose career in senior care began in 1997. She is a graduate of Kettering College of Medical Arts, College of Notre Dame, and Walden University.

Her clinical background spans Medical-Surgical, Oncology, Cardiac, Emergency Room, and Hospice care. After serving as a homecare case manager and leadership educator, Magna founded Comfi-Kare to bridge the gap between hospital discharge and safe aging-at-home — bringing the clinical oversight that’s typically missing from non-medical agencies.

When she isn’t reviewing care plans, you’ll find her training the next generation of caregivers and developing the systems behind CareOps HQ.

Our Vision at Comfi-Kare CPR

Comfi-Kare CPR’s vision is practical and clear: more trained hands, fewer preventable deaths. We want every Maryland household, school, and workplace to have people who know how to respond in a crisis. By growing access to CPR certification, BLS, and AED training, we aim to build a community where stepping up to save a life is not the exception, but the norm.
