CPR, AED and First Aid

River Falls Area Hospital and the River Falls Area Ambulance Service are teaming up to offer more training opportunities in River Falls. With a wide range of choices, you can learn for the first time or take a refresher class. Books are not included in the price of the class, but can be purchased for $13 each.

CPR classes must be paid for before the session occurs, as we are not able to accept payment at the actual class. Please also note that the student is responsible for choosing the correct class for his/her needs. Class descriptions are listed below. We are not able to offer a refund if the participant chooses the incorrect class. Please call the Wellness Center at 426-4545 with any questions about the classes.
