We are incredibly proud to recognize our own Katie Cornelius as our second Hero of the Community Award recipient! ❤️
While attending a music festival in White Sulphur Springs, Montana, Katie sprang into action when a man suddenly became unresponsive. She quickly recognized he was in cardiac arrest, activated EMS, and began high-quality CPR. Within minutes, his pulse returned, and thanks to Katie’s calm, decisive actions and the rapid response of emergency personnel, he survived.
Katie’s courage, training, and willingness to act truly saved a life. Her actions also remind us of the lifesaving importance of CPR training, access to AEDs, strong EMS services, and rural hospitals.
Please join us in congratulating Katie on this well-deserved recognition and thanking her for being a true Hero of the Community!
