U.S.A :: Community Medic
An Introduction
Medicforce is dedicated to promoting free first aid and CPR training to communities throughout the World, not forgetting the US. Thousands of rural communities exist that are 30mins or more from EMS (Emergency Medical Service), it's our goal to provide life saving first aid training, CPR instruction and an AED to communities throughout the United States. This pioneering project starts with North Carolina. In 2009 our goal is to visit 50 communities, provide training, a community medical kit, and AED.Medical Training and Homeland Security
Rural communities are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters (tornadoes, floods, and earthquake) and the ever increasing threat of terrorist related activities. Preparedness is the key. Advanced First aid classes are planned for volunteers within the community, together with a comprehensive medical kit including an AED. In the event of an emergency these individuals will act as first responders until emergency services can be mobilized. These individuals will then work alongside professionals to help in an emergency.Free First Aid For All
Without CPR a person experiencing cardiac arrest has only 5 or 6 minuets
before irreversible brain damage occurs. CPR can extend the window of
opportunity for resuscitation and using an AED (Automated External
Defibulator) within the first five minuets can increase survival rates
to as much as 60%. We offer AHA and American Red Cross classes for free.
