Countless adults and kids trained in Hands Only CPR and Bleeding Control
2 horses!
1 @medflightofohio helicopter that made it despite morning fog
Over 800 pounds of food and 7 box fans donated to People in Need.
This has grown to an amazing community event and we cannot do it without the support of our community partners who come through for us year after year.
Thank you all and we hope everyone has a great rest of the summer.

This is the 12th year in a row we have received this award, which reflects the outstanding care provided for patients suffering from stroke and cardiac emergencies. We are proud to be part of a system of care that consistently delivers outstanding patient outcomes. We are especially proud of all our providers, partner hospitals, and support staff who, collectively and individually, make best practice a reality year after year.
