Peggy Sullivan, a lead basic life support (BLS) instructor for Corporate Clinical Education, was recently at a doctor’s appointment when she heard someone in the waiting room was unresponsive. Her immediate reaction was to jump in and assess the situation. Peggy assisted with CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and guided the office staff to get an automated external defibrillator (AED) and call 911. She remained with the patient until emergency medical services (EMS) arrived and provided support. By the time EMS arrived, the patient had a pulse and was breathing. Following transport, the office staff asked “WHO ARE YOU?? AND WHERE DID YOU COME FROM??!!" and "THANK GOD YOU WERE HERE TODAY!”
Peggy Sullivan is a Social Worker and has been a TriHealth team member since 2002. She has been a BLS instructor for TriHealth since February 2012. She is a lead instructor and assists in the monthly classes provided by Corporate Clinical Education and teaches the Tot Savers Classes for Perinatal Services. We are lucky to have her on our TriHealth team!
As an American Heart Association Training Center, TriHealth is committed to providing high quality CPR training and emergency responsiveness. Many of our TriHealth team members are required to maintain BLS certification and this is an excellent example of why. You never know when you may need this expertise!
