Members can participate in monthly training sessions and get involved in various services. These include staffing first aid stations at events, assisting with public first aid courses, supporting the medical services at major incidents, and providing medical support to the fire department. The association also fosters camaraderie, social interaction, and enjoyment. Its target group is individuals who want to become involved in first aid and further their training in this area. The association also offers courses for the general public, including emergency first aid, BLS-AED courses, and specialized courses on emergencies involving young children. Furthermore, the association provides services such as a medical equipment depot and is involved in volunteer support for the Santa Rita retirement home.
