As part of our organization’s mission, REMSA Health believes that educating the public in emergency response, such as CPR and first aid training, plays a crucial role in saving lives. First aid kits are important in an emergency as they reduce the risk of minor injuries from worsening. First aid training also gives people confidence to assist with an accident or injury to help alleviate or stabilize the situation. This year, in partnership with the Washoe County Health District, REMSA Health is offering free first aid kits to community organizations and organized groups such as youth and adult sports leagues.To get more news about First Aid Kits, you can visit rusunsafety.com official website.
