HVA seeks candidates for Heart Safe, Life Saving awards

Do you know someone who has saved a life? How about an organization that has created a heart-safe environment? Why not nominate them for an award?
Huron Valley Ambulance is seeking nominations for its annual Life Saving and Heart Safe Awards.
The awards will be presented at HVA’s annual EMS Week recognition dinner on Tuesday, May 23, in Ann Arbor. National EMS Week is a time to recognize and honor the dedication of EMS personnel who provide emergency lifesaving services to their communities.
The Life Saving Award honors citizens of any age who have saved, or attempted to save, a life under unusual or extraordinary circumstances. The life-saving deed must have occurred in the HVA service area within the 2016 calendar year and the nominee must not have received an award from another organizations.
The Heart Safe Award recognizes businesses and organizations in the HVA service area that have met the following criteria for creating a heart-safe environment:
• Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in all buildings
• Staff trained in CPR/AEDs in all buildings
• Regularly practiced cardiac emergency response team.
The nomination form for both awards is available at EmergentHealth.org/Awards .
The deadline for award submissions is Friday, March 24, at 5 p.m. Questions? Contact Sandra Butler at [email protected] or (734) 477-6782.
