The eMED team is proud to announce another successful defibrillator life-save at Parkview High School in Little Rock. Just weeks after placing all new AED units in the Little Rock School District, Parkview basketball player Chris Winston collapses during a game. After collapsing, Winston stopped breathing and they had to use a defibrillator to bring him back.
This event occurred almost 2 years to the day from Antony Hobbs’ sudden cardiac arrest on the exact same court. Since Hobbs’ death, eMED has been actively involved in making sure all schools have at least one AED readily available. This past December, the eMED team placed defibrillators in each school in the Little Rock School District. Proudly, one of these AED’s was able to save a young man’s life.
