 SLCH is proud to announce Bridget Orlando, Security Officer at SLCH since 2010, as June Star of the Month. Bridget's fast action recently saved the life of a patient.
In a moment of quick thinking, Bridget began to perform CPR on an unconscious, unresponsive patient driven to the Emergency Department.
Security then alerted the ED staff, who assisted immediately. The patient is now alive and well thanks to Bridget's assistance.
Congratulations Bridget!

Now that it’s nice and warm out its time to jump in the pool. Use these tips to avoid shoulder injuries while swimming. Use good, symmetrical body rotation. Hand entry into the water is finger tip first, not thumb first despite what you may have been taught when you learned to swim! Avoiding midline crossover at the front of the stroke, maintain good upper body posture. Keep a bend in the elbow when doing overhand strokes.
