Kicked off EMS Week by honoring the people who helped save Mr. Tan's life!
Proud to say one of our lifeguards played a critical role in this scary situation! You're in good hands at the Y!
Mayor Kirk Caldwell kicked off EMS Week at the Nuuanu YMCA by recognizing the first responders that saved Philip Tan's life at the facility back in February. Philip had a heart attack in our gym, but the quick action of our members (Eric, David and Mark) along with staff (Leilani, Zahc, Loki, and Lydia) ensured Philip's survival.
The Y is proud that our members and staff were a part of the team effort that saved the life of Phillip Tan and we're honored to be a part of this week's special recognition of the important lifesaving work our EMS and paramedics do in our community!
