Public Health Staff Recognized

Public Health Staff Recognized for
Life Saving Actions!

On Tuesday, May 13, the Public Health staff jumped into action when one of their own went into cardiac arrest.  Immediately, staff members called for a nurse, called 911, and began CPR. Thanks to their valiant efforts, the staff member survived. Emergency Medical Services and Dallas Police arrived on the scene and rushed her to Salem Hospital where she is still recovering.

Her family, EMS and the hospital all credit the Public Health staff with saving her life.  The City of Dallas is planning to present the following people with a Letter of Commendation at a future Board of Commissioners meeting:
