MEDICAL EMERGENCY
We have several physicians, nurses, and medical personnel attending our church who have agreed to provide medical help if needed. Everyone else, except family, please clear the immediate area so that qualified persons can easily get to the individual.
The AED defibrillator is located in the hall outside Daniel Hall. First aid equipment is located in the hall outside of the kitchen and outside of the nursery.
Emergency personnel will be called with 911.
Someone will be directed to go outside to meet emergency responders and direct them to the individual.
