🚑❤️ National CPR & AED Awareness Week | June 1–7 ❤️🚑

Every year, more than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of hospitals in the United States. When cardiac arrest strikes, immediate CPR and rapid access to an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can mean the difference between life and death.

During National CPR & AED Awareness Week, ProMed Ambulance encourages everyone to take a few minutes to learn a skill that could one day save a family member, friend, coworker, or even a stranger.

High-quality CPR can double or even triple a person's chance of survival, and AEDs are designed to be simple enough for anyone to use during an emergency. The sooner CPR is started and an AED is applied, the better the outcome.

At ProMed Ambulance, we are proud to support AED placement and preparedness throughout the communities we serve. We work with businesses, industries, schools, churches, and community organizations to improve access to lifesaving AEDs and provide the training needed to use them confidently.

Interested in learning CPR, obtaining certification, hosting a class, or discussing AED options for your organization? Our team at ProMed TEC is here to help.

Because when seconds count, a trained bystander can make all the difference.

Our law enforcement family is mourning the loss of a truly remarkable man.

After many years of dedicated service, Chris Kelley, a longtime Deputy Sheriff with the Benton County Sheriff's Office, (Reserve Lieutenant), and Captain with the Centerton Police Department, has passed away.

He was more than a badge and a uniform. He was a respected leader, a trusted mentor, a loyal friend, a devoted husband, and a servant to his community. His kindness, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to others left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

He led with integrity, treated people with respect, and earned the admiration of colleagues, friends, and community members alike. His legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched throughout his career and beyond.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who served alongside him during this difficult time.

Thank you for your service, your friendship, and the example you set for so many. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Rest easy, brother. We have the watch from here.

...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...Portions of central and north central Arkansas.

* WHEN...Through Friday morning.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A mesoscale convective system was located over northeast
Oklahoma with copious amounts of moisture advection into the
state. Storms are expected to move very slowly or train over
the same locations. Given high precipitable water values in
place combined with storm motion, precipitation rates will be
efficient leading to flash flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
