Med+Outreach CPR

Minutes is what stands between life and death, make sure you are prepared to take action

Training is more than just information it’s hand on experience that you remember and will use in emergencies

Emergencies don’t wait for professionals to arrive.
Being certified means you’re prepared to act when seconds matter.

Ever notice those red boxes on the wall?

As kids, they seemed mysterious.
Why are they locked? Who uses them? Can I touch it?

Inside is an AED — Automated External Defibrillator.
It’s not just equipment — it’s a life-saving tool used during sudden cardiac arrest to help restart a heart.

And guess what? You don’t have to be a doctor to use one.
With CPR and First Aid training, anyone can help save a life.

Let’s stop walking past AEDs without knowing what they are and lets get trained to be able to use them.

🧠 Food for Thought: Why Aren’t Parents CPR Certified?

Oregon requires all child care workers to be CPR and First Aid certified. Makes total sense—they're responsible for children's safety every day.

But here's our question:

Why aren’t parents required to be CPR certified, too?
Aren’t they around their kids even more—during meals, play and sleep?

Emergencies like choking, drowning, or allergic reactions happen most often at home. And when every second counts, would you know what to do?

💬 We’re not saying it should be mandatory (yet 😉), but what if CPR training was a normal part of parenting?

👉 Let’s start the conversation—and maybe even save a life.

Med Outreach specializes in group training sessions. What better way to learn to be prepared than with your fellow colleagues for school or the workplace. We have a space to accommodate at our training center or we can come to your workplace and preform the quality training there! Connect with us!

🎉 Happy Birthday, USA! 🎉 Celebrating 249 years of freedom and unity today! From fireworks lighting up the sky to flyovers buzzing overhead, it’s a day to honor our nation’s spirit. 🇺🇸

Summer is in full swing here in the Portland area. Yes, the sun bring joy and plenty of fun but it also can cause some serious issues if not careful. So as the summer heat ranks up, keep your eyes open and be careful.

Too much sun can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, or even heat stroke — all of which require quick action. Know the signs, stay hydrated, and protect your skin.
