Community Service
Here at Life Line Ambulance, we are committed and
involved with the communities we serve. That’s why you'll find Life
Line team members at many of the major events and fundraisers
throughout Northern and Central Arizona. After all, we live and work
here too, and we want to do our part to make those cities and towns
the best places to live.
CPR/First Aid classes:
Save a Life!
Life
Line is an American Heart Association Community Training Center and
is affiliated with the National Safety Council First Aid Institute.
We offer two general categories of training courses: those for
healthcare providers and those for the general public.
.
Airway Management:
This five-hour course, which can be taught
separately or in conjunction with the Basic Life Support course,
focuses on maintaining a patent airway. The cost is $40.
Pediatric Emergency Assessment Resuscitation and Stabilization
(PEARS):
This day-long course is designed to enhance
the health care provider's basic pediatric life support
knowledge and to prepare participants to initiate and manage the
first few minutes of a pediatric arrest. The cost is $82.
Please see
Health Care Provider schedule of courses for dates, times and places of training sessions.
- General Public: For the general public,
Life Line offers CPR, automatic external defibrillator (AED) and
first-aid courses. We offer three types.
- Heartsaver CPR/AED Class: This course is designed
for lay rescuers and teaches how to recognize and treat
life-threatening emergencies, including cardiac arrest and
choking for adults, children and infants. The cost is $38.
- Heartsaver CPR/AED/First Aid Class: This course
is designed for first responders, such as police,
firefighter and security personnel. It teaches adult CPR and
AED use, along with first-aid procedures. The cost is $65.
- Heartsaver Pediatric CPR/AED First Aid: This
course is similar to the Heartsaver CPR/AED/First Aid class,
but the focus is on children. The cost is $65.
For the general public courses, Life Line can
tailor these to meet the participants' needs. We can also come
to your facility, or your staff members can take the courses at
our training sites.
Please see
General Public schedule of CPR courses
for dates, times and locations of training sessions.
Also, please see our Community Calendar
for a complete listing of dates for all of our courses.

Ted E. Bear Clinics
When
a child needs ambulance services, it makes a stressful event even
more traumatic—for the child and for the family. That's why Life
Line Ambulance offers free Ted E. Bear Clinics to area schools and
child care centers.
These educational and informative clinics, designed for children
between the ages of 4 and 8, have been a big hit with
students over the last 10 years. They give students and faculty
members the opportunity to see what medical personnel do when
they're called to a home or school. Students are encouraged to bring
their own stuffed animals, so crew members can "treat" them. This
treatment demonstrates how our EMS professionals care for all their
patients, even the pretend ones. Trainers also review how to
activate the 9-1-1 system with the children.
After the classroom demonstration, the crew will
give a tour of the ambulance itself. Students not only enjoy being
inside an ambulance, but this greater understanding also helps their
comfort level if an emergency situation does happen to them.
Life Line offers these clinics as a community service at no cost to
the school or agency.
If you know of an organization that would benefit from one of these
clinics, please contact Life Line Ambulance at: 928-445-3814 or toll
free at 1-800-418-5523.
