Today’s first responder Friday is Sally Boucher!

Today’s first responder Friday is Sally Boucher!! Sally is currently the VP of Finance. She handles finances of Post including the budget, paying the bills, and overseeing the operating account. Sally’s dedication is incredible and we are so lucky to have her.

Previously, Sally was the Community Relations officer and outside of school, she does Cross Country, and is an indoor and outdoor track captain. She is in Respect Works club at DHS as well.

Her favorite piece of equipment is her trauma shears and she likes eating Bodega with her crew.

It has been a year since the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. In light of this, we want to take a moment to recognize the over 2.5 million lives that have been lost as a result of COVID-19, especially those in our town.

We are so grateful for the community’s support over the past year and for our volunteers.

Please continue to be mindful as the pandemic is not over and we must remain vigilant.

Learn the difference between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest. Fast action can save lives. Call 911 and start CPR when necessary. Want to learn CPR? Reach out to our CPR coordinators at learnCPR@post53.org.

Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death, and early compressions can help save lives. As a part of heart health month, learn CPR!

Along with heart health month, knowing the signs of a stroke is very important. While stroke is the number 5 cause of death in the U.S. and a leading cause of disability, noticing the signs early is crucial.

A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts (or ruptures). When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood (and oxygen) it needs, so it and brain cells die.

The acronym FAST will help you recognize whether someone is having a stroke. It is quick and easy to perform.

If you suspect that someone is having a stroke, call 911 immediately. Rapid transport to the hospital is crucial.

February is heart health month. Do you know the signs of a heart attack? It can be different for men versus women

It is important to recognize that the longer someone goes without treatment, the greater the damage.

DO NOT hesitate to call 911. Fast action can save lives and an EMS team will provide pre-hospital care as well as rapid transportation into an emergency room.

February is American Heart month. Heart disease is the number 1 killer of Americans.

This year, with Coronavirus, it is more important to recognize the devastating effects of heart disease. COVID-19 can be harmful to the heart, many people have avoided going to the hospital for heart issues because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in quarantine, many people have engaged in unhealthy habits which ultimately can contribute to heart disease.

For the month of February, we will be posting informative posts about heart health, how to recognize a problem, and how to help.
