Community CPR and First Aid Training
CPR and First Aid
St. John Rescue members know that early CPR and First Aid intervention can be vital in preventing the loss of life or serious injury. With the current communication systems on the island and terrain, rapid response to an emergency scene can be delayed. With possible delays in mind, St. John Rescue has established numerous community-based CPR/AED programs to assist the general public in providing early care in emergency situations.​

Community CPR/AED courses can be setup for groups of any size including neighborhood organizations, non-profits, schools, businesses, or anyone wishing to obtain certification.
​
A suggested donation of $30.00 will help to support our efforts to provide these classes.
