Life Saver Award

An elderly gentleman was unconscious during a senior league softball game. The man suffered from a cardiac event when I was dispatched to his location. After I arrived, I provided approximately 68 seconds of CPR before paramedics arrived on scene to take over life saving measures. The man was rushed to the hospital where he was able to recover to a stable condition. I was awarded this life saver award by the City of La Vista.
