CPR/AED Class
CPR is an important life-saving tool that can be taught and used in the event of a critical emergency where an individual’s breathing or heart has stopped due to a cardiac event, near-drowning incident, or becoming unresponsive due to choking. * Please note that this class only teaches the skill and does not offer the AHA CPR Certification.
