Thanks to funds from the Fort Scott Community Foundation and the John Valentine and Patricia Jean Neff Health Care Fund, Tri-Valley Developmental Services purchased six AED (Automated External Defibrillator) Training Devices and supplies. These devices provide students in Tri-Valley’s CPR/1st Aid Class firsthand experience on the proper use of an AED. Tri-Valley offers multiple CPR/1st Aid classes throughout the month for Tri-Valley Staff, Persons Served, and Community Members.
“Thanks to the Fort Scott Community Foundation and the John Valentine and Patricia Jean Neff Health Care Fund, we are able to train not only our staff, but persons served and other community members on life saving techniques.” said Alisa Miner, Training Coordinator. “These trainers provide the opportunity for hands-on training. Class attendees have benefited from learning on these trainers. It is exciting!”
