KETTERING -- Jamie Kuhlman took action the morning of Feb. 8 when she and others saw a man lying unconscious in the street.
Kuhlman, a registered nurse who lives in Kettering, initiated life-saving measures on the man. A police officer at the scene grabbed the automated external defibrillator from his cruiser, and Kuhlman administered two shocks to the man. His care was then turned over to paramedics.
For her life-saving actions, Kuhlman was presented Kettering's Citizenship Award on Tuesday during the City Council meeting.
"If not for Jamieâs actions and the others involved, this situation may have ended in the middle of the roadway," a Kettering Police Department release reads. "Instead, the medics were also given the opportunity to continue life-saving procedures. This team effort is to be commended for the determination, compassion and calmness displayed during this highly stressful time of emergency in an attempt to save a personâs life."
