MCA is seeking nominations for our annual Life Saving Awards, to be presented at our Emergency Medical Services Recognition Awards Banquet on Wednesday, May 19, 2010. The Life Saving Award honors citizens of any age who have saved, or attempted to save, a life under unusual or extraordinary circumstances. The life saving deed must have occurred within the last year and the nominee must not have received any awards from other organizations.

We are also looking for nominations of "Heart Healthy" organizations or businesses that have prepared for cardiac emergencies at their workplaces. The Heart Safe Organization Award recognizes businesses or other organizations that have met the following criteria for creating a “heart safe” environment:

• automated external defibrillators (AEDs) strategically placed in buildings or on campus
  
• staff trained in CPR and use of AEDs
  
• a regularly practiced cardiac emergency response plan

The deadline is Friday, April 9, 2010. To nominate someone, call Nancy Raupp in Community Relations at 734-477-6782 or e-mail her. See left for links to nomination forms.
