The American Red Cross has provided health and safety services to the American public for almost a century.
Health and Safety Services
For nearly a century, the American Red Cross has prepared people to save lives through Health and Safety education and training. From First Aid, CPR and Bloodborne Pathogens training to Swimming and Lifeguarding, HIV/AIDS education and Babysitter's Training, the American Red Cross Preparedness programs help people lead safer and healthier lives. The Red Cross constantly strives to respond to the preparedness concerns of Americans at home, in school and in the workplace. Today's innovative programs also include teaching lay persons and professionals how to use Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to save victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Last year, nearly 11 million people enrolled in American Red Cross health and safety courses."
CPR is one of the most important life-saving skills The Red Cross teaches. Last year we instructed more than 14,000 individuals in CPR. The more people who know how to perform CPR, the safer our neighborhoods and homes will become.
The primary purpose of CPR is to get oxygen to the brain. Without this oxygen, humans sustain irreparable brain damage within eight minutes. Many doctors say it can occur much sooner than that. It is certain that if a loved one or close friend quit breathing or suffered a heart attack, you would want to know CPR.
First aid is also an important aspect of Red Cross's community service. Last year we trained over 7,000 individuals in first aid. By knowing first aid techniques you can help when someone has heat prostration, shock, severe bleeding, or has a stroke.
In addition, the Red Cross offers a variety of other important training courses. We also have instruction in Water Safety, Lifeguard Training, Teen Babysitting, Pet CPR, and CPR for the Professional Rescuer, just to name a few.
The volunteer and paid staff at Three Rivers realizes that to provide quality service, they must offer professional training. All of our instructors are well-trained, certified, and knowledgeable. They can teach almost anyone the techniques for reacting to an emergency. Many people feel intimidated by learning these skills. Not to worry. Attend one of our classes, learn the skills, learn to CHECK, CALL, CARE, and you'll be able to take the proper action in any situation.
