Our mission
Our mission is to empower the community through high-quality, integrity-driven emergency medical training that builds confidence, competence, and readiness when it matters most.
Founded by a nationally registered and board-certified flight paramedic, our program is designed to make lifesaving education approachable, practical, and rooted in real-world experience.
We believe emergency skills shouldn’t be limited to hospitals or professionals. Our training is built for everyday people—families, workplaces, and community members—who want to be prepared to help in moments of crisis. Through hands-on instruction in basic life support, CPR, first aid, trauma care, emergency medical response, and complementary interventions such as naloxone administration and splinting, we meet learners where they are and teach what truly applies in the real world.
By training within our own communities and tailoring education to their unique needs, we create a learning environment where everyone feels welcome, supported, and capable. Our goal is simple: to equip anyone willing to learn with the skills and confidence to protect life—so help is present long before emergency services arrive.

First Aid for Severe Trauma
Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death from trauma. The American Red Cross First Aid for Severe Trauma (FAST) program provides participants with the knowledge and skills they need to respond to an emergency involving life-threatening bleeding, including how to:
• Recognize a life-threatening bleeding emergency.
• Ensure safety and communicate effectively in an emergency.
• Control life-threatening bleeding using direct pressure, a tourniquet, or both. The program is designed to enhance participants’ ability to take decisive, lifesaving action to assist a person with a traumatic injury and life-threatening bleeding until professional responders arrive.
