Rural West Virginia faces persistent barriers to emergency preparedness, including long EMS response times and limited access to certified training. Our initiative addresses these challenges by providing community based First Aid, CPR, AED, Bloodborne Pathogens, Naloxone & STOP THE BLEED® training directly to underserved areas. By bringing hands-on, medically informed instruction to workplaces, schools, churches, and community groups, we empower residents to respond confidently during cardiac arrests, injuries, and opioid overdoses—emergencies where immediate action often determines survival.
Our approach blends evidence-based curriculum, including our Basic Life Support Class, on-site instruction, and harm-reduction principles to build a sustainable culture of safety across rural communities. With scalable training models, mobile equipment, and partnerships throughout North-Central West Virginia, our company is led by E.L. Ridenour Solutions LLC, a West Virginia–based training organization with professional experience in First Aid, CPR, AED, Bloodborne Pathogens, Naloxone & STOP THE BLEED® training, supported by a certified American Heart Association BLS Instructor & certified DOD STOP THE BLEED Instructor dedicated to improving public health outcomes in rural Appalachia.
Born and raised among the rolling hills and picturesque landscapes of West Virginia, I am deeply rooted in family values and the ideals of hard work, resilience, and community.
