BC Ambulance Service Recognizes Local Heroes

The BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) presented a Vital Link Award and three Good Samaritan Awards to individuals from Victoria to recognize their quick, lifesaving actions during a medical emergency earlier today.

“Even with the best trained paramedics and the fastest response times, the simple actions of members of the public during a medical emergency can often be one of the most critical factors in a patient’s outcome,” said BCAS Vancouver Island Executive Director Shawn Carby. “CPR is a vital step in the chain of survival for a patient.”
