FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nolensville, TN – (December 5th, 2024) The Nolensville Police Department is proud to announce a significant boost to its emergency response efforts, thanks to a generous donation from HCA Healthcare. Recognizing an increase in heart-related medical emergencies within our community, the department conducted a thorough review of its equipment and resources, identifying the need for enhanced life-saving tools. In response, HCA Healthcare donated 20 Bag Valve Masks (BVMs), empowering Nolensville officers with the critical equipment necessary to deliver life-saving care in the vital moments before emergency medical services and fire departments arrive.
“Our officers are often the first on the scene during medical emergencies,” said Chief Dale Armour. “This donation directly enhances our ability to protect and serve our residents in life-threatening situations.”
Each Nolensville Police vehicle is already equipped with Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), and all officers have received training in CPR and critical care. These resources, combined with the newly donated equipment, position the department as a frontline responder in cardiac emergencies.
The Nolensville Police Department urges the community to stay informed about the signs and symptoms of heart-related emergencies. Residents are encouraged to participate in local CPR training programs, such as those offered by the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association, to be prepared in the event of an emergency.
“We extend our deepest gratitude to HCA Healthcare and their dedicated staff for this invaluable contribution,” said Chief Armour. “Their generosity exemplifies the strength of partnerships between healthcare providers and public safety organizations. Together, we are making Nolensville safer and more resilient.”
