ORIGIN STORY
How Safety Team Solutions Began
STS is a new business local to Rochester, NY.
Read below to learn about the inspiration for the founding of Safety Team Solutions.
Origin Story
Founded in March 2025, Safety Team Solutions was created by Meg, a seasoned CPR and First Aid instructor with over 15 years of experience. Meg began teaching American Heart Association’s BLS CPR, Heartsaver CPR, and Heartsaver First Aid in 2009. Initially certified through Highland Hospital’s Education and Training Department, Meg taught throughout the community for three years under their training center.
In 2012, Meg transitioned to a position with a NYS state agency training center, which required trainers to exclusively teach for their agency. After many years of teaching in various settings, Meg’s passion for educating others and her desire to make life-saving skills more accessible, led her to start Safety Team Solutions in 2025.
Inspired by her volunteer work with a local youth sports organization, Meg recognized the challenges faced in accessing affordable, quality CPR and First Aid training, especially with the increasing state safety regulations in sports and other community activities. Safety Team Solutions was born out of a mission to bridge this gap, making training accessible, affordable, and effective for all who need or want to learn.
Family Traditions
My father was a Health and Environmental Safety Specialist and taught emergency response procedures locally for Kodak and at Monroe Community College. He was also a volunteer Paramedic and Fireman throughout my childhood. He instilled my desire to know what to do in case of an emergency.
I remember when I was 10 years old, I was so excited to take a Babysitter course. A few years later, I became a Junior Lifeguard and then a Lifeguard.
I have always wanted to share the priceless knowledge of CPR and First Aid with others. When presented a chance to become a CPR and First Aid instructor in 2009, I was excited for the opportunity.
Fast forward to 2025, I have taught CPR and First Aid to more people than I can count and my passion for sharing this knowledge has not faded.
