BREAKING: Wisconsin leads the nation in getting available shots in arms, and today we’re announcing everyone 16 and older will be eligible to receive a #COVID19 vaccine starting next week.

Just love this little bit on the Mother's Day card from my daughter.

A cardiac arrest affects so many people beyond just the patient. Family, friends, and bystanders, oftentimes providing a lifeline for patients prior to EMS arrival, carry a tremendous weight and deep emotions. Let's not lose sight of their needs- both during and after a resus.
