A proud moment for our Bellingham Bay Marathon Medical Aid team! Eight PeaceHealth medical volunteers and a hospice nurse received medals in a ceremony this week from Whatcom County Emergency Medical Services Administration for their roles in saving a bystander's life at the Sept. 1 race after she collapsed with cardiac arrest. "Decades of research have shown that bystander CPR increases your chance of survival by two or even three times and every one-minute delay in defibrillation increases your mortality risk by 10%," said Ralph Weiche, emergency physician at St. Joseph and medical program director for Whatcom EMS. "So that's why their quick actions and professionalism saved this person's life." Whatcom County has one of the highest rates of bystander CPR in the nation, he said; Whatcom EMS offers classes for free. Thank you The Bellingham Herald for covering!

The team was able to save a woman who needed CPR and an AED shock after experiencing a cardiac arrest.
