Ardus Medical Helps Local Family

Team volunteers time with Habitat for Humanity Members of the Ardus Medical team volunteered their time for a local Habitat for Humanity project, repairing a house badly damaged by a fire that started in the basement and tore up to the second story.Albert underwent bypass surgery within a few days of his arrest and has fully recovered just 9 weeks later. He states that attending physicians and nurses on more than one occasion told him that he owed his life to the fact that an AED was present at the jobsite. In addition the doctors have asked Albert if he would like to be part of an advertising campaign to promote the importance of this life saving device and to encourage employers to have them in the workplace.

The team's job at the house was demolition of the second story, which included ripping out of all plaster and wood slats so that new drywall could be hung. The Ardus employees worked side by side with the family that would be owning the revived home. "We enjoyed donating our time for a good cause, but quickly realized that it was extremely hard work," said one of the helpers.Seeing Albert up and around and doing so well made every bit of planning and work in setting up the safety program worth while. So many times in safety you can only speculate what you might have prevented. This incident however didn't require speculation, the facts speak for themselves and Albert is living proof that an effective emergency preparedness program works and is worth the effort.

Through the work of Habitat, thousands of low-income families have found new hope in the form of affordable housing. Churches, community groups, and others have joined together to successfully tackle a significant social problem -- decent housing for all.

Today, Habitat for Humanity has built more than 175,000 houses, sheltering more than 900,000 people in some 3,000 communities worldwide. For information on how you can get involved please visit Habitat's website at www.habitat.org.
