Life-Saving Awards Presented to Three Lombard Residents

During yesterday’s Village Board meeting, Samantha Cihak, Andrea Wagner and Gail Dukes, three health care professionals, were recognized for their lifesaving actions earlier this month.

On the afternoon of June 1st, an 80-year-old Lombard resident was grocery shopping with his wife when he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and collapsed to the floor. Fortunately, three healthcare professionals, also Lombard residents, recognized the need for immediate lifesaving intervention and sprang into action. They recognized that the patient was in cardiac arrest, and provided high-quality continuous CPR.
