RESCUE INC. COMMUNITY TRAINING CENTER

History

The training center was established in 1994 through an affiliation with the American Heart Association with the goal of offering the community quality education regarding the signs and symptoms of heart attack and stroke as well as the appropriate steps to assist a victim of sudden cardiac arrest (CPR).

Within a few years, the community requested a venue for first aid training and through an affiliation with the National Safety Council Rescue Inc. initiated additional classes. The RICTC now educates approximately 2,000 community residents each year, including high school students and adults from all walks of life. We celebrate the collective efforts of a network of more than 40 instructors, each of whom is a currently certified and practicing emergency medical technician, paramedic, or nurse in southern Vermont or New Hampshire.
