Community Emergency Medical Training and Preparedness (Formerly Cary Area EMS)

Community Emergency Medical Training and Preparedness, once known as Cary Area EMS, teaches CPR, first aid, and emergency preparedness from Medcon Court in Cary. Courses are open to individuals, teams, schools, and organizations, and the range is wide enough to cover a family or a whole staff.

The group is a nonprofit committed to giving back and serving people in need. It runs community events built around getting neighbors ready before something goes wrong, and the aim is to give ordinary people the training to respond well when it counts.
