American Red Cross

AmericanRed Cross in Okinawa is primarily for the military members. We serve the members in many ways, not only with emergency communications. Our volunteers help in all the base schools, post offices, dental clinics, medical clinics, several departments in Lester Naval hospital and other installations on the bases.  The dental assistant program is one of the most valued free training programs available for spouses and is very popular. American Red Cross is here for you!
