The Elizabeth Community Ambulance Service would like to recognize the life-saving actions of one of its members, Frank Randall, who recently received an American Heart Association Heartsaver HERO award. While off-duty, Randall responded to a man down/CPR in-progress call and resuscitated the patient before the ambulance arrived. He also accompanied the patient during transport to higher care following the initial emergency call. Randall has been an invaluable part of the Elizabeth Community Ambulance Service since 2007, making an impact on countless lives in that time. Randall said, “It was more than just me. I happened to be in the area when the call came in. When I got there two people were doing CPR. We did what we were trained to do and had a good outcome. The award is for all involved, it was a team effort. I wish we were able to recognize all that were there. As a CPR instructor, everyone should learn CPR because you never know where and when you might need it.”
