2016-06-08 - Penndel-Middletown EMS (Jim Wilkins and Andy Foley)

The spent considerable time discussing three types of medical emergency situations with which seniors (the vast majority of our membership) are all too often confronted.  These include various types of heart attacks and strokes (both clots and hemorrhaging)  … together with warning signs someone might be experiencing one of these life-threatening events; emergency first aid (including updated CPR techniques and the use of AEDs); and risks when a victim fails to receive timely treatment.  They also touched on falls and easy things which can be done to minimize the chances of falling.

It was a tremendously interesting and informative presentation and we anticipate having them return in the fall t speak with use again!
