New BSVAC Training Center

We are thrilled that a new training center for our emergency medical training programs is almost completed.  The design and construction have been a team effort, with neighborhood residents pitching in and some local businesses donating building materials or providing generous discounts.  The construction effort has been led by Lester Best (middle), contractor, who has relied on the fine work of Lavern Brown (left) and Abdul Foxworth (right).   Read more about our training programs.   Check back soon for more photos!

The technical assistance is being provided by Community Resource Exchange (CRE), a leading organization in the provision of services to the non-profit sector.
