BACK for 2025! Our Highly Popular AED / CPR / Stop The Bleed Training
When YOU are the first responder, will you be ready?
No one wants to think about it, but it has become a harsh reality. Kansas City, Missouri, police are expected to receive more than 1.3 million 911 emergency calls this year. Based on that level of calls for help, the city should have a staff of 180 just to handle the call volume. The current budget supports half that number--95. One fourth of those budgeted positions are not filled.
In that environment, the first responder to an emergency could be you. When no one is coming to save you, will you be ready to save a life?
Through special arrangement with Lifesavers CPR Instructors and educational materials from the American Heart Association's Heartsaver CPR AED program, Mill Creek members and their immediate family members can join 20+ year veteran of the Kansas City Kansas Fire Department Chris White, in an intensive course on CPR/AED and Stop the Bleed First Aid.
