CPR/AED Classes
We care about your health and wellness. People usually don't think about emergencies until one occurs in their own home.
We are encouraging you to become proactive in your approach to yourselves and your family’s health and safety. If there were a medical emergency in your home, would you know how to handle it?
Because we care, we want you to be prepared to take care of the ones you love before we do. Take advantage of First Aid, Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and CPR classes offered throughout the community.
