CERTIFICATIONS WHY GET CERTIFIED? “You may not realize it, but the response time for first responders after 911 is called averages 8-12 minutes, and during sudden cardiac arrest – each minute that defibrillation is delayed reduces someone’s chances of survival by approximately 10%. This is why, at the American Red Cross, we support the position that improved training and access to AEDs could save 50,000 lives each year. In fact, we believe that all Americans should be within four minutes of an AED and someone trained to use it.”

- RedCross.org

AMERICAN RED CROSS CPR/AED/FA TRAINING SUNDAYS [ SEPT 16 / OCT 14 / NOV 11 ]

The American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED program helps participants recognize and respond appropriately to cardiac, breathing and first aid emergencies. This program offers a choice of first aid, CPR and AED courses to meet your specific training needs. Registration ends on Thursdays prior to class.
