St. John provides first aid and CPR courses to members of the public. Training is provided on an individual, or group basis. Our training is ideal for companies and organizations looking to provide their employees and members with a recognized certification.
St. John also distributes and maintains automatic heart defibrillators throughout the Island. We also provide the training required to use these life saving devices. Also we have a large selection of first aid kits.
Our fourth vehicle (the mobile clinic) has put us in a place to be involved with Health Promotion. We are also looking to provide public screening clinics for hypertension and blood glucose monitoring.
