Health and Safety Services

Community Programs

For more than a century, the American Red Cross has been saving lives with health and safety education programs. Red Cross training ranges from first aid, CPR and AED to swimming and lifeguarding; from HIV/AIDS education to Caregiving programs like Babysitter’s Training. American Red Cross programs help people live safer and healthier lives.

Health and Safety Services are the only services we provide that have an associated charge. All monies collected from health and safety come back to your community. These monies are used to support the free emergency services we provide in the community.

The Red Cross constantly strives to respond to the health and safety concerns of Americans at home, in school and in the workplace. Today’s innovative programs also include teaching lay persons and professionals how to use automated external defibrillators (AED’s) to save victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Last year, nearly 12 million people enrolled in American Red Cross health and safety courses. You can help the Red Cross save lives. Become an instructor or an Authorized Provider, take a course, or volunteer with the Historic Virginia Chapter by calling 540-586-7792.
