CPR/Naloxone training with the volunteers who help folks that are underhoused and #homeless in Pembroke. What an amazing group! Thanks to The Grind for hosting. A joint effort between County of Renfrew Renfrew County and District Health Unit County of Renfrew Paramedic Service Premergency #Naloxone #Narcan saves lives!

ACOs are always working to increase bystander CPR with early detection and instruction delivery. Excited to see how pilots like Frontenac’s Neighbours Saving Neighbours postively contribute as well. Kudos to all programs getting AEDs to people quickly when seconds count.

Congratulations to Communications Officer Emilie who coach the delivery of a healthy baby boy over the phone this week! She is being recognized with a blue stork pin. Well done!

Seconds count! The Pembroke Fire Department (PFD) provides ice rescue for the City of Pembroke. If you don’t ask for the PFD right away, it could cause serious delays in response, putting lives in danger. When there’s a need for ice rescue, tell the operator you need the PFD 1st!

I’ll be touting the benefits and strengths of local knowledge in dispatch centres forever and always. Training and equipment take dispatchers part way, but the experiences of Renfrew’s dispatchers inside and outside of the centre make all the difference.

This Valentine's Day, why not learn how to keep someone's ❤️ beating?  Take a CPR course with your partner. Nothing says I love you more than being ready and willing to save their life.

“She was bleeding,” she said. “Why didn’t they do anything to help it along instead of wait for another ultrasound to confirm the baby is dead?” Because violating the abortion ban can mean prison time. That’s why. #abortionishealthcare texastribune.org/2024/11/01/nev…
