“During the early hours of May 10, 2005 while preparing to wash my car I noticed a neighbor slumped over on his front porch steps. Realizing something was wrong I immediately called 911 and ran to my neighbor’s house to assist. Upon my assessment found him to be in cardiac arrest. With the assistance of my wife Beth, we immediately began CPR. Shortly there after the paramedics arrived and utilized an AED. This device shocked him several times, then a provider felt a faint pulse.”

“Thanks to the quick actions of Officer Mike Garner and his wife, this patient is alive today. The combination of early CPR and defibrillation truly added to the success.”
