Saefkow Training Center CPR & First Aid

06/12/2026

Thanks, Camp Ho Mita Koda for the opportunity to replace your older AEDs with ZOLL AED 3s! They are even more rescue-ready with our latest installations. The ZOLL AED 3 doesn’t need pediatric pads! It has a button to switch modes. Other great features include a screen to show each step and AED pads that expire every 5 years instead of 2 years.

We wish Camp HMK a safe and happy camp season!!

Ho Mita Koda is a camp that serves children with type 1 diabetes. They have medical staff with thorough training available to their campers both day and night. We are proud to support their mission!

*Pictured: my 9 and 7 year old helping install the new ones and remove the old ones. They mostly played with the camp staff who were on break for lunch! (Thanks, Rachel!)

*Also pictured: The AEDs we removed - these generally need replaced every 8-10 years or when they expire.

If your AEDs look similar to these and you aren’t sure how old they are or if they are rescue ready, DM us.

Thanks, geaugaparks for creating such a great space at Veterans Legacy Woods! Our babysitter safety class was even better thanks to this venue!

My PRESTAN Products “Robert/Roberta” manikins love traveling to train people! We have fun every day. 🤪😂😊

We completely filled our babysitter safety class, and it’s happening today in Newbury Township!

Thank you to the community for your continued trust and support.

Next one is in Willoughby on July 26th.

It’s hard to describe just how amazing today was. Our community event was incredible, providing opportunities for people to learn lifesaving skills. I could talk all day about it but let’s just say we exceeded our goal of 10 people coming to the event!

Thank you to everyone who made this day an absolute success.
