Rural/Metro Medical Services
CPR Information
Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in adults, and less than 5% of victims who go into cardiac arrest survive. If a cardiac arrest happened to your loved one or a close friend, would you know how to perform life-saving CPR, which can double a victim’s chance of survival? Surprisingly, the vast majority of Americans don’t. At this seminar, provided by Rural/Metro, you can learn the basics of CPR, and have a chance to take home a CPR Anytime training kit to share this critical knowledge with your friends and loved ones.


Financial Health and Wellness
An annual check-up is critical for your health, but did you know it is also important to ensure your financial health?  We will walk you through several basic points as a quick check-up of your financial health and wellness.  We recommend you then take these results to a specialist: your financial advisor.
