Meet Val Woods

Hello, my name is Val Woods and as long as I can remember I’ve always been passionate about serving others. I have been serving as a nurse for over 18 years. During those 18 years I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve as charge nurse, wound care nurse, adult day care nurse, discharge nurse and I am currently serving as an outreach and mental health nurse.

On November 12, 2018 I lost my only sibling. He was parked in a grocery store parking lot and began to bleed out from a ruptured aneurysm in his Arteriovenous fistula in his left arm. Bystanders reported it only took the EMS less than 5 minutes to get to him after calling 911. When EMS arrived it was reported that my brother was unresponsive and they began CPR and First Aid immediately.

Val Woods CPR was birthed as a result of living through that season. It has become my passion to equip bystanders with the knowledge, confidence and skills needed to act in emergency situations. I passionately teach high quality BLS, CPR, AED and First Aid Training. It is my goal to continue to equip individuals, families, and communities with the skills needed to act in emergency situations while waiting on Emergency Medical Services to arrive.
