On November 15, 2025, Broken Horseshoe Winery in Ringgold, Georgia welcomed CPR Training School to their location at 5 Legion St for an on-site training session that would transform 16 team members into certified lifesavers. Through comprehensive CPR/AED and Choking Certification training, these employees now carry skills that extend far beyond the vineyard, skills that could make the difference between life and loss in a critical moment.
A Ringgold Gem Rooted in Community and Quality
Nestled in the scenic landscape of northwest Georgia, Broken Horseshoe Winery has become more than just a destination for wine enthusiasts. It’s a gathering place where community, craftsmanship, and Southern hospitality blend together as smoothly as their carefully curated vintages.
For locals and visitors alike, the winery represents a commitment to quality and experience. Whether hosting private events, welcoming weekend tasters, or creating memorable moments for celebrations, the team at Broken Horseshoe Winery understands that their guests trust them not just with their palates, but with their time, their celebrations, and their safety.
That’s what makes their recent investment in comprehensive safety training so significant. In an industry built on creating joyful experiences, this Ringgold business has demonstrated that true hospitality includes being prepared for the unexpected.
Why CPR Training Matters More Than Ever
The National Safety Council reports that approximately 5,000 choking deaths occur annually in the United States, with adults accounting for the majority of these incidents. Food is responsible for over 50% of choking episodes, making restaurants, wineries, and other dining establishments particularly high-risk environments.
According to the American Red Cross, CPR can double or triple survival chances when bystanders take action. In environments where people gather to eat, drink, and celebrate, like wineries and hospitality venues, the risk of choking incidents and cardiac emergencies is a reality that prepared businesses acknowledge and address.
The 16 newly certified team members at Broken Horseshoe Winery now join a crucial chain of community responders. They understand that the moments before emergency services arrive are often the most critical. With emergency services needing to be available within 3-4 minutes according to OSHA recommendations, having trained staff on-site isn’t just smart, it’s potentially lifesaving.
Building a Culture of Confidence and Care
There’s something profound that happens when a team learns CPR together. Beyond the technical skills of chest compressions, rescue breathing, and AED operation, there’s a transformation in workplace culture.
Employees walk away with more than a certification card. They carry confidence. They understand their capacity to act decisively in crisis. They’ve practiced scenarios that once seemed overwhelming and discovered they’re capable of remaining calm, following protocols, and potentially saving a life.
For the team at Broken Horseshoe Winery, this training represents leadership that looks beyond the day-to-day operations. It’s an investment that says, “We value our team, our guests, and our community enough to be truly prepared.”
As the Thanksgiving season reminds us to reflect on what matters most, family, community, and the people we gather with, these 16 certified professionals now carry the ability to protect those very things. Whether it’s a colleague, a guest celebrating a special occasion, or a community member visiting the tasting room, someone’s father, mother, friend, or child, the trained staff at Broken Horseshoe Winery are ready.
