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

We have no written but on each phone a"purple" note with address and entry directions if 911 is called.  There are too many doors in a church and in our case the front door with address is no parking area - so we use the parking lot door.
 
Another idea is Episcopal Health ministry  - http://www.episcopalhealthministries.org/ go to resources and they have CD's with "Backdoor notes" for restroom stall doors - 14 pages to a CD and now 3 CD's that you print yourself.  I have been using these for a year and get lots of good comments.
