As a service community, the American Red Cross offers Health and Safety courses so that you will know how to respond in an emergency before medical help arrives. Taking a Red Cross Health and Safety course could save your life or the life of someone you love.

Red Cross classes for December include: Community CPR, Child/Infant CPR and First Aid, Standard First Aid, Babysitting, Adult CPR, CPR for the Professional Rescurer and CPR for the Professional Rescurer Review. The classes are held at the Red Cross building in North Charleston. In addition, the Red Cross can send an instructor to your business to train employees in first aid and CPR.

To register for classes or for more information, call 744-8021 ext. 3058.
