CPR Classes
CPR, a life saving skill, can easily be learned in a few hours. A combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths are given to people that have stopped breathing and no longer have a pulse. These techniques buy time for the individual until more advanced help arrives at the scent of the emergency. A variety of classes are conducted to meet the needs of the students.
