American Red Cross Offers CPR and First Aid Class in Spanish for First Time in Northeast Indiana

The American Red Cross of Northeast Indiana is excited to announce its first ever community class in Adult, Child and Infant CPR and first aid in Spanish. The class will be held Saturday, January 16 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Red Cross, located at 1212 E. California Rd. in Fort Wayne.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there at least 14,000 people in Allen County that speak Spanish or Spanish Creole. With the growing Spanish-speaking population in the region, the Red Cross recognizes the need to extend its lifesaving training opportunities to members of the non-English-speaking community. This Red Cross course prepares participants to respond to those in need with the confidence that comes from being trained in lifesaving CPR and first aid skills.

For more information or to sign up for the class, please call (260) 484-9336, ext. 242. Class cost is $55 and includes all participant materials and fees.
