The Red Cross constantly strives to respond to the preparedness concerns of Americans at home, in school and in the workplace by providing training and the lifesaving skills of CPR and first aid. Today's programs also include teaching both nonprofessionals and professional rescuers how to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to save victims when their heart suddenly stops beating normally. The Outagamie Chapter can also help you purchase an AED for your business, church, or club.

The American Red Cross-Outagamie Chapter offers training for all ages. Whether you work with children, want training for a new or existing job, are a professional rescuer or simply want to know how to help someone in an emergency, we can help you build the skills you need.

The Red Cross can also bring these lifesaving courses to your business or home for no additional charge. Call the Chapter for details, 920.733.4481.

While the Outagamie Chapter does not conduct CNA training, testing for Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) is held at the Outagamie Chapter's office. The Regional Test Site code for the Outagamie Chapter is 50054.

The Outagamie Chapter First Aid Station, staffed by trained volunteers, is available for local public events. The first aid station provides care for minor cuts and scrapes as well as major trauma. Each station is equipped with an AED for victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Donations are asked to offset costs of materials and equipment.

Blended Learning courses combine Internet learning with live skills training. The lecture and video part of the course is taken on-line at a time and place convenient to the participant. The live skills' training is held in a traditional classroom setting. This method cuts classroom time in half.

Health and Safety volunteers and staff also participate with information and demonstrations at health fairs of all kinds.
