Working toward your Captain’s License?

Don’t overlook one important step—CPR training that meets U.S. Coast Guard requirements.

At CemsCpr we provide CPR and First Aid training that meets those requirements—while focusing on real-world skills you can rely on when it matters most, on the water or off.

We’ve helped several individuals recently take this step, and we’re here to make the process simple and straightforward for you too.

If you’re working toward your license or have questions, send me a message.

Quality training. Real-world skills. Confidence when it matters.

The Dogwood Trail Maids stepped beyond tradition and into something powerful… learning how to recognize an emergency and respond with CPR.

Because when it matters most, it’s not about titles—
it’s about taking action.

Two things happening at once—community outreach and lifesaving training.

While I was out at the Safe Kids community event, Dana Berg Terry was back at the CEMS training center leading a Basic Life Support class—hands-on, focused, and preparing more people to respond when it matters most.

That’s what CEMS is all about… making sure high-quality training is happening every day, no matter who’s leading the class.

Another group trained. Another step toward a stronger, safer community.

❤️ This is what community safety looks like.

Great day at Child Safety Day in Spanish Fort hosted by USA Health Children's & Women's Hospital.

So many community partners, hospital teams, and volunteers came together to make this event special—from Medstar, Spanish Fort Fire and police, Alabama Power, Alabama Forestry and pediatric transport teams to physicians sharing safety education, car seat checks, and even a few fun experiences for the kids.

At the CemsCpr table, families practiced CPR, learned how to use an AED, and how to respond to choking emergencies. We also shared information on the latest AED technology and community preparedness.

Special thanks to Courtney Thompson and the USA team for making this event such a success!

Moments like this make our communities stronger and safer.

Amazing!!

A football practice in Nestucca Valley, Oregon, turned into an emergency when a coach suddenly collapsed on the field.

The situation quickly became critical as he suffered cardiac arrest while speaking to players during practice.

Teammates reacted immediately. Players rushed to his side and began CPR, working to keep blood flowing while others called for help.

One player ran to retrieve an automated external defibrillator (AED) from the school gym.

As CPR continued, the device was brought to the scene and used according to their training.

The combined effort helped restore a heartbeat before paramedics arrived.

He was transported to the hospital, where he later underwent surgery and began recovering.

Weeks later, he returned to the field, crediting the players’ quick actions for saving his life.

Officials said the immediate use of CPR and an AED was critical, showing how preparation and fast response can make a life-saving difference.

Proud to be part of this community initiative in Spanish Fort, Alabama - expanding access to early defibrillation increases the opportunity to save lives. The SaveStation cabinets installed in our parks make AEDs easier to find an access, and having the Avive AED ready to respond is a powerful step forward for this community.

Coastal Emergency Medical Skills (CEMS) was proud to be part of today’s launch of three new 24/7 public access SaveStation® units, each housing a life-saving Avive AED, in Spanish Fort.

This is what it takes to make a real impact—access, education, and action.

Proud to stand alongside partners working to build stronger, safer communities.

Every compression has a story. ❤️

Last week CemsCpr brought together physicians, nurses, and pre-hospital care providers from our local EMS service for an Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Course.

When every role understands their responsibility, communicates clearly, and trusts one another, the entire team dynamic changes.

High-quality CPR, early defibrillation, and strong leadership don’t happen by chance—they happen through training together.

Different backgrounds. One team. One mission.

Every compression has a story.

Last week, CemsCpr returned to Central Christian School to spend time with their health class students. From the moment we started, this group was locked in—focused, engaged, and ready to learn.

They built real skills in CPR, AED use, and first aid, but more importantly, they built confidence—the kind that can make a difference when it matters most.

Every compression has a story… and this group is now part of that story.
