The AHA's Heartsaver First Aid Course is a classroom, instructor-led course designed to prepare students to provide first aid in a safe, timely, and effective manner. Students will learn how to properly remove gloves, practice “Finding the Problem”, use of an Epi-pen and Inhaler, and how to stop bleeding. Upon course completion, the student will receive a course completion card valid for two years.
The Heartsaver First Aid Course requires the First Aid Student Manual. Please call the Training Center at 444-2375 to make arrangements to picking up the student manual. If you cannot come by the hospital, we will be glad to arrange to have the manual mailed to you.
