On Oct. 6, a life-or-death moment at the Kettering Recreation Complex became a testament to extraordinary care and quick thinking. When a 35-year-old resident collapsed during exercise, citizen Dr. Jordan Hickey and PRCA staff member Sarah O'Malley sprang into action. Recognizing the patient wasn't breathing, they immediately began CPR and used an AED, delivering two life-saving defibrillations. When the Kettering Fire Department arrived, they continued advanced life support. Tonight, we honored these heroes: Citizenship Award: Sarah O'Malley (PRCA) Dr. Jordan Hickey, MD KFD Life Saving Award: Capt. Eric Hagemeyer Firefighter/Paramedic Chris Caudill Firefighter/Paramedic Ryan Hill Firefighter/Paramedic Austen Mellendorf Firefighter/Paramedic Trent Phipps We're proud to report that the patient made a full recovery. Upon delivering a heartfelt speech at the Council Meeting, there was not a dry eye was in the room. This is Kettering—where community means everything.
