Laura was sitting at home enjoying her breakfast on her day off when she received a phone call from her neighbor. Her neighbor said: "I think my husband is having a heart attack". Laura ran over to their house and found her neighbor in distress and looking grey. Shortly thereafter he went into cardiac arrest and Nurse Laura started CPR until the ambulance arrived. Her neighbor was rushed to the hospital - he survived his MI and Aortic dissection, is now discharged and back to work. He calls Laura his guardian angel.

I'm so proud of Laura Bennett for saving a life.
