For more
than a century, the American Red Cross has been saving lives with health and
safety education programs. Red Cross training ranges from First Aid, CPR and AED
to Swimming and Lifeguarding; from HIV/AIDS education to caregiving programs
like Babysitter's Training. American Red Cross programs help people live safer
and healthier lives. The Red Cross constantly strives to respond to the health
and safety concerns of Americans at home, in school and in the workplace.
Today's innovative programs
also include teaching lay persons and professionals how to use automated
external defibrillators (AEDs) to save victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Last
year, nearly 12 million people enrolled in American Red Cross health and safety
courses. You can help the Red Cross save lives. Become an instructor or an
Authorized Provider, take a course, or volunteer with your local chapter.
