“When I looked at her, her clothes were shredded all down the midline, so I realized that something different had taken place, and I heard somebody say she got hit by lightning. The color of her face was white, gray, blue.

And I looked at her and it was almost like in my head the image of the manikin I do RQI training on, it just blended in, and I knew where to put my hands. I knew how to do CPR. I’ve been in the medical field for 25 years and I’ve never done it before on a human, and I just knew how to function, so I just did compressions on her.”

Before one Saturday afternoon certified surgical technologist, Andrea Rogers, had only ever practiced CPR in a training capacity. Little did she know that her years of experience and RQI-honed CPR skills would save the life of a young woman who was struck by lightning.

As Artemis II carried humans around the Moon for the first time in a generation, it’s worth remembering that even in space, lifesaving skills matter.

This image shows astronaut Margaret Rhea Seddon using a Resusci Anne manikin to practice zero-gravity CPR training in anticipation of a 1993 mission.

Today, crews continue to practice CPR in weightlessness, adapting critical skills to the realities of their environment.

Lameel Muhqueed’s story is why we need to not only learn CPR, but master it. Thanks to the fast actions of the staff at Palmer Elementary School, Lameel and his family are able to share his story of survival.

“Every building has a medical emergency response team. We have a registered nurse assigned in every building and a designated CPR-trained team available. We run drills every year just for these types of situations,” said Kirstyn Wade, the director of health services for Grand Rapids Public Schools.

The importance of equipping staff with the necessary training and tools along with emergency response plans is imperative to act with confidence when, and if, that time comes.

“The core training, the access to the defibrillator, the knowledge and the organization of a team that Lameel actually experienced was life-saving in his situation,” said Dr. Jean Ballweg, a pediatric cardiologist.

While healthcare continues to drive U.S. job growth, hospital hiring has slowed so far in 2026. At the same time, 2 in 5 healthcare workers say their roles feel unsustainable, and 1 in 4 are considering leaving* the industry, according to an Indeed survey.

Against that backdrop, cutting turnover, strengthening engagement and enhancing resources and training has remained a central focus for health system leaders.

Hear from five health system leaders on where they have found success for their system and staff.
