COPPER RIVER EMS (CREMS)

Matt Lorenz says CREMS provides this for the entire Copper Basin, and has travelled as far as Chistochina and even Valdez in order to teach CPR/First Aid classes.
Anyone who is interested in emergency medical training for themselves, their company, or their staff can call him at 259-5277 or 822-3671 or they can email crems@cvinternet.net. Currently, all in-person classes are on hold until further notice, but there are options for on-line classes.
