175 Brompton Rd. Tonawanda, NY 14150SPEAKER: Rhonda Drewes, a 3rd year PhD Student in the Pathology and Anatomical Sciences Department at the UB Jacobs School of Medicine, a former EMT, and a community volunteer back in her home turf of Long Island. She is participating in a Medical School Social Justice Fellowship to help the Cardiac Crusade initiative in WNY.
CPR Trainers will be on-hand.
Cardiac Crusade is a 501c3 organization with a mission to get the location of AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) instantly searchable on smart phones and available to emergency dispatchers/responders.
It was established by Julie and Greg Coon (Larry Coon's cousin) after Julie suffered a Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Julie is alive because people around her knew CPR and how to locate and use an AED to shock her back to life.
