At Pulse3, this is our "why"......

In late 2022, the Saginaw Arts and Science Academy embarked on a journey to achieve a Michigan HEARTSafe Schools designation, supported by Pulse3 and the CMU College of Medicine. Their emergency team underwent trainiing---among them was security officer Greg Price. After completing a successful cardiac emergency drill on site later that year, SASA officially received notification of their HEARTSafe award on June 5, 2023 at 0807.

That same day, roughly 4 hours later, Greg collapsed in the gym while supervising students, suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. Assistant Principal Kraniak and teacher Sophia Gault began life-sustaining CPR, while students ran to retrieve an donated by Pulse3. Minutes later, this provided the shock that restarted Greg's heart, ultimately saving his life.

Please join us in honoring Greg and his lifesaving team at the Shocks and Saves charity hockey game this Saturday, January 27th at the Dow Event Center in Saginaw.

The residents and medical students training in the region represent the future of our physician workforce. Skating in this year's Shocks and Saves game will be CMU College of Medicine 4th year students Rachel Wall and Garrett Richardson (former SVSU skater). They will be joined by 3rd year student Marisa Samani and CMU Health surgical resident Dr. Charlie Keane. Come check out these as they skate with the Detroit Red Wings and NHL alumni!

A big "Thank You" to all of the medics and and EMT's that work day in and day out to keep our region safe. We are grateful to the many employees of Mobile Medical Response, long-time Shocks and Saves partner
