Greetings everyone, its Scott from NC

I have a couple questions.

First, in your church, do you have a policy that directs staff/parishners in the event of an emergency (like a fall, cardiac arrest ect)?

I have been asked to come up with something that we can put in our emergency manual that gives some direction in case such a thing did happen. We have a boat load of health care providers and an AED, but the insurance co. for the church would like something in writing so the staff can have something to fall back on.

Also, I am looking for some direction of making the Health Ministry grow. I work in emergency medicine full time so I cant devote alot of time to it now, but in 2 years I can retire and would like to see it grow, perhaps into a paid position (God Willing).

Right now I do a monthly (or bimonthly) news letter and try to have classes for the church as I can. I just recently held a Heartsaver AED class for the staff as we just got an AED

Any suggestions?

God Bless
