For over a century, the American Red Cross has prepared people to save lives through health
and safety education and training. From first aid, CPR and bloodborne pathogens training to
swimming and lifeguarding, HIV/AIDS education and Babysitter's Training, American Red Cross
Preparedness programs help people lead safer and healthier lives. The Red Cross constantly
strives to respond to the preparedness concerns of Americans at home, in school and in the
workplace. Today's innovative programs also include teaching lay persons and professionals
how to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to save victims of sudden cardiac arrest.
Last year, nearly 12 million people enrolled in American Red Cross health and safety courses,
learning how to respond to emergencies and to keep themselves and their families safer.
