That\u2019s why the American Heart Association is proud to recognize a team of people who performed CPR to save a coworker\u2019s life. Nine people, including employees of the Clinton\u00a0Central School District, were presented with the Heartsaver Hero Award during the school\u2019s\u00a0June awards assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Last August, Clinton Central School District teacher Mary Beth King was at work getting\u00a0ready for the new school year. She headed for the principal\u2019s office and found custodian Bryan\u00a0Hill unconscious on the floor. His heart had stopped. King is a CPR instructor and her training kicked in right away. King, along with other staff members and two construction contractors,\u00a0called 911, started CPR chest compressions, <!--more-->and retrieved the automatic external defibrillator. The team used the AED and continued CPR until EMTs arrived, including Clinton graduate Bret Grabeldinger. Thanks to the quick action of his co-workers, Bryan was back to\u00a0work within a few months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI applaud the quick action on the part of all involved that saved Bryan\u2019s life, including\u00a0the Clinton Fire Department,\u201d says Clinton Superintendent Dr. Stephen Grimm.\u00a0\u201cEveryone\u00a0responded quickly and worked together to keep Bryan alive until we could get him in the hands\u00a0of medical professionals.\u00a0 We are also proud to offer American Heart Association CPR through\u00a0our health classes and know that it will make a difference in the lives of our graduates and\u00a0community, as it did here on that day for Bryan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Heartsaver Hero Awards were presented to the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bret Grabeldinger<\/li>\n<li>James Grower<\/li>\n<li>Mary Beth King<\/li>\n<li>Diane Lupinski<\/li>\n<li>Jamie Madden<\/li>\n<li>Eric Mosher<\/li>\n<li>Daniel Priore<\/li>\n<li>Julia Scranton<\/li>\n<li>Jim Scoones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The American Heart Association wants everyone to learn CPR and be able to take\u00a0action like this team. More than 350,000 out-of- hospital cardiac arrests occur each year.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, only about 10 percent survive; however, immediate CPR can double or even triple a\u00a0victim\u2019s chances of survival. The American Heart Association is celebrating CPR &amp; AED\u00a0Awareness Week June 1-7 to help educate the community on the importance of CPR.<\/p>\n<p>If you see a teen or adult collapse, remember the two steps to Hands-Only CPR\u2122: 1)\u00a0Call 911 and 2) Push hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives. You can learn\u00a0this lifesaving skill in one minute by watching a video at www.heart.org\/handsonlycpr.<\/p>\n<p>The Class of 2016 is the first high school student class in New York State to have\u00a0received Hands-Only CPR training as a result of the CPR in Schools Law, which went into effect this school year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People who take action and perform CPR in an emergency are\u00a0heroes.
