The minutes from the March 17,1999 meeting were approved by unanimous vote.
Operation Heart Beat
The American Heart Association (AHA) video "When Every Second Counts" was presented at
the meeting. The video dealt with sudden cardiac arrest and the need for early defibrillation.
Defibrillation would be carried out by portable defibrillators (AEDS) that could be placed in a
wide variety of locations, and be used by a wide variety of responders (police, security guards,
etc). The Board requested additional information be provided by the Health Coordinator
including, How many AEDS would be needed and who would be trained? Are they not available
in high risk areas such as fitness center, senior housing, nursing homes, hotel/motels? Do state
laws cover responders using these devices (good samaritan law)? Is the Elk Grove Fire
Department equipped with AEDS or equivalent, and how often is CPR taught to residents. Also
review programs in surrounding communities if available.
Wellness Program
Flyers touting the Employee Wellness Program are scheduled to be included in employee
paychecks on April 23, 1999. May 1, 1999 is the scheduled kickoff date to begin the health risk
assessment.
