Sam Tall, a senior at the Crawford Educational Complex School of Community Health and Medical Practices (CHAMPs), was recently honored with the CHAMPs Outstanding Service and the Plaque of Courage. During winter break, while jogging in his neighborhood, Sam encountered a woman who had collapsed on the sidewalk. As a result of his enrollment in the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) course at CHAMPs, Sam is CPR certified. He immediately assessed the situation and began to administer CPR while another bystander called 911. Paramedics arrived on the scene and the woman was transported to the hospital. Due to Sam’s quick and courageous actions, the woman recovered. The woman and her family are very thankful to Sam “for caring enough to save my life.”
