Authorized Providers
Welcome to the American Red Cross, and thank you for being
part of our mission of emergency prevention and preparedness.
We'd like to congratulate you on your commitment to building
a healthier, safer community by becoming an American Red Cross
authorized provider and helping us reach even more people
with lifesaving training.
As an American Red Cross authorized provider, you are leveraging
more than 90 years of lifesaving expertise and a brand that
is trusted and recognized as being the premier health and
safety training organization. Red Cross training materials
incorporate the most current standards of care that meet OSHA
Guidelines for First Aid and the Emergency Cardiovascular
Care Guidelines. And because Red Cross training is standardized
and recognized by national, state and local authorities, proof
and validity of training can easily be provided to regulatory
agencies.
The American Red Cross of Portage County is committed to
providing you with the highest level of customer service.
Technical and programmatic support is just a phone call away,
and marketing materials are available at little or no cost
so that you can promote your training programs. Your local
chapter also provides administrative support, including issuing
course certificates and maintaining instructor and student
records, so that you can focus on what's most important-providing
lifesaving training. If you have any questions, please be
sure to contact us.

E-Sheets
E-marketing can help you promote training at a fraction of
the cost of standard mail. E-sheets are short, simple, electronic
flyers that can be sent to potential or current customers
via e-mail. Because they are MS Word documents, e-sheets can
be customized with your organization's contact information.
They can also be printed and used in direct mail campaigns.
To download e-sheets, click on one of the links below:
If you are an authorized provider training your own employees,
e-sheets can also be sent to your employees via e-mail to
encourage them to enroll in an upcoming first aid and CPR
course that your company is hosting. Because they are MS-Word
documents, these e-sheets can be customized with the date
and time of the training.

For Authorized Providers:
New First Aid/CPR/AED Program Course Combinations Provide
More Training Options. The First Aid/CPR/AED Program reflects
the Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) 2000 Guidelines and
provides you with a broader range of training options than
ever before, including adult CPR, automated external defibrillation
(AED), injury control modules, and infant and child CPR. The
modular design of the program allows customers to build the
first aid and safety programs that are right for them.
The First Aid/CPR/AED Program Instructor's Manual provides
course outlines and lesson plans for 14 courses and course
combinations. We heard from instructors that course outlines
for every possible course combination in the First Aid/CPR/AED
Program would be valuable. We responded with the development
of 15 additional course outlines designed to match the multiple
course combinations that customers may request. The new course
outlines (see MS Word file available below) provide you with
clear directions to conduct each combination ensuring that
all skills and information are covered uniformly without needless
repetition. This expansion results in a total of 29 course
combinations that can be taught from one instructor's manual
to help you offer your course takers the training they need.
Thank you for the critical work you are doing in your community
everyday. Each person to whom you teach lifesaving skills
might have the opportunity to put those skills to use in a
life-threatening emergency. Together, we can save
a life.
