COMMUNITY EDUCATION

We at NAVAC believe that emergency care begins before the ambulance arrives.  Early recognition of an emergency and knowing what to do go a long way to keeping our community healthy and safe.  Integrating with our community by having both lay and professional training classes is the first step.

Since 1971 NAVAC has trained thousands of people in CPR and First Aid. NAVAC offers the flexibility of providing training at your location for a business, civic group, or club or at our headquarters.

If a person is sick or injured and you want to help but you are not sure what to do... Remember that training is the key to good preparation. Training gives you “The confidence to act.”
