Day 2 of our CPR, First Aid, and Stop the Bleed training with the team at Chamonix Hotel & Casino!

We’re building on yesterday’s momentum with more hands-on training, real-world scenarios, and practical skills that can make a life-saving difference. It’s been great seeing the engagement and commitment from everyone involved—this is exactly how strong, prepared communities are built.

We still have seats available for our upcoming CPR/First Aid/Stop the Bleed class on April 18th, and we’d love to fill every spot. Whether you’re part of a business, organization, or just want to be better prepared for your family and community, this training is for you.

Send us a message to reserve your seat or learn more—we hope to see you there!
