Health & Safety Services
The Red Cross is the recognized premier provider of first aid, CPR, aquatics, water safety, HIV/AIDS prevention education, mission-related caregiving, and other health and safety education programs.

In 1996, nearly 12 million people enrolled in health and safety courses in which they learned how to keep themselves and their families safer.

The Red Cross develops programs in collaboration with experts from the fields of medicine and aquatics that reflect up-to-date information and techniques. All courses are designed to teach the exact skills people need to know in an emergency.
