MESA proudly celebrates that a patient has made a full recovery after experiencing a cardiac arrest save event!
In May, MESA was dispatched for chest pains, which was quickly upgraded to a cardiac arrest. After CPR, transport, being placed on ECMO, and a month-long hospital stay, the patient made a full recovery with no brain or nerve damage.
MESA recently hosted a ceremony to celebrate the patient and present the dispatched MESA providers with cardiac event save pins. Success stories like these are what drive our passion to serve our community.
