As an Authorized Provider for the American Red Cross, our organization has become an important part of the Preparedness and Health and Safety Services training team. The American Red Cross and the American Heart Association (AHA) are dedicated to saving more lives from cardiac arrest through public awareness and educational programs that train more people in CPR. Both organizations develop guidelines and training materials that are specifically valid, so that all students receive training and education that is based on the most current science.

What the SRM Service can do to help:
Services:

• Provide First Aid/CPR/AED courses and training to meet various needs of participant’s according to the American Red Cross standards.

• Assist with hands only CPR and AED awareness training for students.
