Little Heroes, Lifesaving Skills! 🦸‍♀️❤️ 🦸‍♂️❤️

Our team had an amazing time at Hick’s Elementary teaching students lifesaving skills every kid should know ❤️👏

From learning what it’s like to work in the ER 🚑 to practicing CPR compressions on manneikins 💓, these students stepped up BIG TIME and showed they’re never too young to make a difference.

We covered:
✨ What Emergency Medicine doctors & PAs do
✨ How STEM connects to healthcare 🔬💻📐
✨ How to recognize an emergency 🚨
✨ Calling 911 & getting help 📞
✨ Checking for breathing 👀
✨ Hands-only CPR using the “Baby Shark” beat 🦈🎶
✨ Choking rescue basics 🙌

The best part? Watching every student confidently jump in to practice being a real-life hero 💪❤️

Huge thank you to the Hicks Elementary and their students for having us! And special thanks to Dr. Bhandari & Sadiya Bhandari, Drs. Meena Awasthi & Julia Guo, EM Residents: Tiffany Shields, Amara Ogoke, & Hannah Mainor for leading the way! The future is bright 🌟
