10 steps to help organize a cardiac arrest survivor celebration

Today EMS1 posted an article about 10 steps to organizing a cardiac arrest survivor celebration.

It begins...

Celebrating cardiac arrest survival in your agency and community is a wonderful opportunity to allow cardiac arrest survivors and their families to meet and thank their EMS and hospital caregivers. Celebrations also provide an opportunity for survivors to meet other survivors, promote awareness of sudden cardiac arrest in the community, and create a venue to celebrate successes in EMS.  

The best survivor celebrations focus on the survivors first and foremost, and the rescuers, both professional and bystander, second. At Spokane AMR, our celebrations have included families, hospital personnel, EMS personnel, 911 dispatchers, police officers, firefighters and bystanders.
