American Heart Association Heartsaver® Classes
BCMH hosts several AHA Heartsaver® CPR/AED classes throughout the year led by AHA-certified instructors. This class is for anyone who needs a course completion card for work requirements, or for those who don’t have medical training but want to be ready to help respond in an emergency. Skills taught include CPR and the operation of an automated external defibrillator (AED). Students who successfully complete the course will receive a completion card good for two years.

Auxiliary Fundraisers
Over the years, the BCMH Auxiliary has raised thousands of dollars through fundraising events, as well as the Auxiliary Gift Shop, to help the hospital purchase needed items to provide quality patient care. Thanks to our community supporting these efforts, our volunteers are able to donate thousands of dollars for needed equipment and supplies, all focused on enhancing quality care and the patient experience here at BCMH.
