First Aid (First Responder Program)

Program Description: First Aid is immediate or temporary care provided to injured or suddenly ill persons until competent medical care, if required, arrives and takes over. Participants in this First Aid program will receive training that highlights emergency medical care that is administered during the critical “first 5 minutes”. Properly administered first aid precautions can save lives, reduce recovery time, and at times, could possibly be the difference between temporary disability or lifelong disability for the victim. The program is intended for anyone wishing to learn first aid procedures and be able to effectively provide care in case of an emergency.
