As a volunteer youth soccer coach for a large local church sports program, Zach was winding down one of the last games of the day when he heard someone from the crowd call out for a doctor. Upon further investigation, he saw someone performing CPR chest compressions on a grandparent to one of his young players. Zach responded quickly to take over the compressions while the other rescuer delivered respiratory support for 3-4 minutes until EMS arrived on the scene. The “patient” survived and is currently recovering after this scary event.
Zach is grateful that the CPR training he received here at Watson Clinic helped him make a difference in this person’s life. All of us at Watson Clinic are incredibly honored that he is such an asset to our team and our community!
