(Aurora, Ind.) - AEMT Tracy Underwood and EMT Sophie Henson, of Aurora Emergency Rescue Unit were recognized at a recent Aurora City Council meeting.
Mayor Patrick Schwing, City Council and a representative from Mercy Health - West Hospital were on hand to honor Underwood and Henson for their lifesaving actions during a successful cardiac arrest resuscitation earlier this year.
The duo was recognized in August with the Cardiac Arrest Save Commendation by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS).
This commendation recognizes their efforts in the successful resuscitation of a patient experiencing cardiac arrest. Moments like these demonstrate the importance of rapid response, quality patient care, and the dedication our providers bring to the community every day.
"Congratulations to Tracy and Sophie on this well-deserved recognition! We are incredibly proud of our crews and grateful for the strong partnerships that help us provide the best possible care to our community," reads a statement from Aurora Emergency Rescue Unit.
Aurora Emergency Rescue Unit extends a special thank you to Aurora Police officers who arrived first on scene, initiating CPR and applying their AED & Paramedic Will from the Lawrenceburg Fire Department.
