Golden Stethoscope & Lifesaving Awards Presented: Jackson County, MO

(Kansas City) – In January 2023, Nurses Jones, Wood, and Yundi and Jackson County Detention Center staff member Officer Adegoke 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.
