Basic Life Support/CPR Classes
About the Classes:
Dr. Vasanth Kainkaryam strongly believes that the true “Community Doc” of today is fundamentally different. ““Being a 21st century Community Physician is about not only helping individual people, but creating avenues to educate communities so they can save lives and create health together.”
These educational initiatives are part of redefining the role of the Community Physician, creating partners and affiliates to enhance the overall health of the area.
While our classes are done on-site, we can also do them on-site when requested employers, in private physician practices, or for community events.
Basic Life Support Classes are offered by affiliate entity 4 Elements Health & Wellness LLC. This entity is separate from the medical practice entity, and is owned by Dr. Vasanth Kainkaryam. Besides the sharing of location and both being owned by Dr. Kainkaryam, there is no other relationship between the businesses.
