Members of Junior Girl Scout Troop #31300 from Camino Pablo Elementary School in Moraga were recently taught critical first aid skills by healthcare experts and Moraga residents, Kim and Barry Sutherland. Kim Sutherland is a highly-experienced Neonatal Intensive Care Unit nurse at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland, and Barry Sutherland is the CEO of Norcal Ambulance.
The fifth-grade girls received a comprehensive tour of a state-of-the-art ambulance in the Norcal fleet. The brand new ambulance is one of the few of its kind in the Bay Area that can isolate a potential Ebola victim. In addition to practicing first aid, the girls learned how to perform life-saving compression breaths on CPR mannequins.
