HEART SAFE COMMUNITY AWARD PRESENTATION <br /> <br />Paul Mendoza, North Memorial Hospital, was present. <br /> <br />Police Chief Corey Farniok stated for the past two years the Police Department has worked toward the <br />requirements for Orono to be designated as a Heart Safe Community. Criteria include identifying AEDs <br />in the Orono community and training community members in CPR. A number of local community <br />organizations helped the City achieve this certification, including the Long Lake Fire Department, the <br />Mound Fire Department, the Orono School District, various civic groups, businesses and individual <br />residents. With their assistance, the certification was accomplished last week. <br /> <br />Mendoza stated he represents the North Memorial Heart Safe Community Initiative, which is a program <br />to designate communities Heart Safe. The program helps individuals recognize and respond appropriately <br />to cardiac arrest and the proper way to initiate CPR. The program has installed more than 48 AEDs in the <br />community. Orono also earned more than enough points from the Department of Health to be presented <br />with a road sign designating Orono a Heart Safe community. <br /> <br />Mendoza presented the City with the Heart Safe Community Award. <br /> <br />Crosby thanked Mr. Mendoza for the efforts and contributions North Memorial has made to the different <br />communities in the state. <br /> <br />6.
