Henderson County Red Cross - Together We Can Make a Difference

Prepare & Train: General Information

Health & Safety Training

     From First Aid, CPR and AED training to swimming and lifeguarding to "Babysitting Training", American Red Cross programs help people lead safer and healthier lives. Programs and materials are developed in collaboration with leading medical authorities.   Last Fiscal Year over 4,900 individuals learned lifesaving skills or safety training through classes offered by the Henderson County Chapter alone.

    To find out what classes are available in your area call 1-800-REDCROSS and select option 3 or go to www.redcross.org and click on "Take a Class".

     Other classes, such as CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer, Pet First Aid, Wilderness First Aid and Babysitting are also scheduled throughout the year. Some of these classes may only be offered occassionally in Henderson County.

     Look to our community partners, Lelia Patterson Center, the Henderson County YMCA and Patton Pool for classes in Water Safety and Lifeguarding.
               Another time-efficient way of learning CPR is our new Citizen CPR class. One half hour and only a $15 cost! Includes limited practice time. This class is a compression only class and does not satisfy American Red Cross certification requirements and is therefore not appropriate if your job or profession requires certification.

         Employers, schools, organizations and groups: Could your team benefit from health and safety training? If you have 10 or more people that could form a class, we can bring the class to you. Please call our sales team at (803)329-6575 or e-mail whitest@usa.red.cross.org   You provide the participants, the space for class and we can bring the rest. Health and Safety Training- To Go!
