Golden Stethoscope & Lifesaving Awards Presented: Boone County, MO

(Columbia) – In January 2024, Nurse Hooks and Boone County Detention Facility 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 arrived.

This team saved the patient’s life.

Saving a life is a team effort. To celebrate their actions and recognize all individuals involved, Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc.
