❤️ CPR & AED Awareness Week is Here! ❤️

From June 1–7, communities across the country are recognizing CPR & AED Awareness Week, highlighting the importance of lifesaving skills that can make the difference during a sudden cardiac arrest emergency.

This year, we're also helping raise awareness for the National CPR & AED Awareness Rally & March, taking place in Washington, D.C., July 23–25, 2026.

🚨 SOLD-OUT SATURDAYS 🚨

Another packed Adult & Pediatric CPR/First Aid/AED class at Respond & Rescue this weekend — completely sold out. 👏
This Saturday was extra special. Greg led the class, and due to the large turnout, we had to relocate upstairs to where it all started for us last year at Classic Nurses Academy. Full-circle moment seeing another room filled with students learning lifesaving skills in the same space where so much growth began.
From parents and caregivers to healthcare students and community members, the DMV continues to show up for training that matters.
At Respond & Rescue, we focus on real-world, hands-on education that builds confidence and prepares people to act in emergencies.

✅ Adult CPR
✅ Pediatric CPR
✅ AED Training
✅ First Aid Skills
✅ Same-Day Certification

Huge thank you to everyone who continues to support our mission and trust us with your education. Saturdays have been filling quickly, and we’re grateful for every single student who walks through our doors. ❤️ If you’ve been planning to get certified, now is the time to reserve your spot before the next class fills up.
