Renee was working, filling out paperwork early in the morning at Kinetics. She is not normally there at that hour, but we are so glad she was. My father-in-law suffered a V-fib arrest while at the gym. Bystanders alerted staff members to his situation.

Susie and Renee responded immediately with the AED. They worked together to perform BLS, with Renee leading. Renee performed six minutes of compressions without switching out. Throughout the cycles of CPR, two shocks were advised and administered. ROSC was achieved after the second shock. Due to Renee's fast and high-quality CPR, along with early defibrillation, he is alive and well.

He was able to attend his oldest granddaughter's wedding a week after his arrest. Renee did not falter; she did not hesitate. She saved his life. If he had been anywhere else, the outcome could have been much worse. We are so thankful Renee was there and did what nurses do, saved his life. There is no gift too grand that we could give her for saving his life.
