We deliver instructor led CPR, AED and first aid certification and clinician reviewed preparedness supplies tailored for Orwig, Pennsylvania. Our courses and kits meet common local needs for childcare providers, schools, small businesses and families, and they emphasize practical skills and scenario practice you can use in a real emergency.
Our presence in Orwig and nearby communities
We are based in Stewartstown and serve Orwig and surrounding neighborhoods. Local groups come to us for classroom certification and for on site training that fits school schedules, daycare operations and workplace safety plans. Our students include healthcare professionals, nursing students, babysitters, parents, daycare centers, schools and senior care staff.
Because our educators are certified through the PQAS and a FEMA certified registered nurse curates our supply kits, we focus on clear certification pathways and supplies aligned with Pennsylvania and FEMA preparedness guidance. That combination helps local organizations meet training and compliance needs without guessing which materials are appropriate.

How we teach
Our instructors are experienced educators certified through PQAS. Classes emphasize skills practice, scenario practice and judgment under stress. We combine American Red Cross protocols with newly added American Heart Association Basic Life Support options where appropriate, so learners leave ready to act and to document their certification.
