A sudden cardiac arrest at a middle school dance could have ended in tragedy; but it didn’t. Luckily, nurse and chaperone Trish Hendershot was nearby – ready to step in, start CPR, and access an AED in time to save a student’s life.
In this episode of In the Heart of Care, we explore how classrooms and campuses can become more prepared for sudden cardiac emergencies. Trish walks us through what happened that night and how her readiness helped save a life. Then, host Dr. Ash Panchal speaks with pediatric cardiologist Dr. Anoop Singh about Project ADAM – a national initiative ensuring schools have the tools, training, and emergency plans they need to stay “heart-safe” when the unthinkable happens.
