On February 8th, 2013 we all learned a lesson of the value of learning CPR and the use of an AED. A gentleman went in to full arrest in front of our office. With the quick reaction of our staff performing CPR and using our AED, the man is alive today. The AED was installed on Tuesday and saved a life on Friday! This is why we encourage everyone to take CPR classes and train in the use of an AED. Call UEMTC today at (801) 562-2663 to sign up for classes.
