Two Providence caregivers are being recognized for their quick thinking and teamwork to save a man’s life.

After finishing their shifts, Madison D. and Kelsey S. noticed a man in medical distress and immediately stepped in. They called 911 and began CPR, trading off chest compressions until paramedics arrived. Thanks to their actions, he began breathing again before first responders reached the scene.

For their heroic efforts, they received the Providence Community Mission Board’s Exemplary Performance Award, which honors caregivers who go above and beyond in living our mission to know, care for, and ease the way of every person we serve.

We are incredibly proud of these caregivers. Join us in applauding them for their remarkable act of service.

This program is a partnership between Providence, the Spokane Area Workforce Development Council, and the Next Generation Zone, helping create career pathways and strengthen our local healthcare workforce.
