Wake Forest Baptist Donates Defibrillators to Middle Schools

Amy Craver with Principal Stephanie Gentry

In the Friday Oct. 12 issue of the Winston-Salem Journal, reporter Richard Craver writes about a Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center program to donate an automated external defibrillator (AED) to each Winston-Salem/Forsyth County middle school. The first one went to Southeast Middle School.

"Fortunately, we have not had a reason to use an AED on campus, and I would like to be able to continue to say that," Principal Stephanie Gentry said during a training session. "But we would be foolish is we didn't take the opportunity to better protect our students and staff."

Journal photographer Walt Unks took the pictures. For the full story go to Winston-Salem Journal
