Pima County now has 15 more community superheroes among our ranks! On Thursday, September 23rd, these various county and city justice court employees completed the necessary educational requirements to obtain American College of Surgeon’s Bleeding Control and AZDHS Compressions-Only CPR Certifications.
Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control and CPR principles so they can provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders can take over care of an injured or ill person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury or illness, and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths may occur.
Although no single set of skills or response can fit all illness, injury, trauma, or active violence situations, making sure everyone knows his or her options and can react decisively will save valuable time and lives. As members of our extended community family, these exceptional men and women now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life!
All of us at ICSAVE send out a special thank you to all who attended this essential training event!
