Golden Stethoscope & Lifesaving Awards Presented: Butler County, KS

(El Dorado)– In August 2023, Nurse Mathews and Butler County jail staff were presented with a patient in cardiac arrest. While we cannot provide more details due to federal patient privacy and confidentiality laws, we can tell you that this team did not freeze.

Utilizing their training and professionalism, these individuals worked together to resuscitate the patient. They did not leave the patient’s side until EMS could arrive.

This team saved the patient’s life.
