The three-year project, funded by the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, aims to equip every law enforcement vehicle in the state with a defibrillator and train agencies to deliver immediate care prior to the arrival of emergency medical services. The project will supply 8,300 devices.
“Seconds count during a cardiac arrest,” said Walter Panzirer, a Helmsley trustee. “This funding will ensure those who get to the scene before EMS arrives give patients a better shot at survival.”
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
