WellSpring Medical Assisting Program Director Recieves Special Recognition

Sheryl Max, WellSpring’s Medical Assisting Program Director, was honored by the American Red Cross on April 19, 2011 for saving a life. On Saturday, November 6 of last year, Sheryl was at the Price Chopper grocery store in Brookside when an older man collapsed with no breathing or pulse. Sheryl instructed someone to call 911 and immediately started CPR. She was later assisted by the store manager, and eventually brought the man back with breathing and a faint pulse before the EMTs arrived. The man was recovering in the hospital later that day. Max says, “Saving a life has been one of the most rewarding accomplishments of my life.”
