CPR and First Aid Education Courses
Through the American Heart Association, the Masonic Village is pleased to offer education courses to its employees and members of the community, including healthcare professionals, lifeguards, daycare workers, non-medical personnel, employees in the workplace, family members of patients at high risk for cardiac death and other non-medical persons.
We also do skills checks at our facility for those who have completed the online course and just need to have their CPR skills checked. Call the number below to make an appointment.
The costs of course manuals are listed below; however, Masonic Village has manuals that participants may borrow prior to their course.
Use of American Heart Association materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the American Heart Association. Any fees charged for such a course, except for a portion of fees needed for AHA course materials, do not represent income to the Association.
