Why CPR and BLS Training Can Save Lives in Waldorf

• Perform high-quality CPR with chest compressions and rescue breaths.

• Safely operate an AED (automated external defibrillator).

• Respond to choking, drowning, or opioid overdoses.
  Local Impact: After a Waldorf teacher saved a student using skills learned here, Charles County Public Schools mandated our training.
