The Fanwood Rescue was on standby and provided free blood pressure screenings at the Go Red for Women’s Heart Health Fair at the JCC in Scotch Plains. FRS squad member Melissa Padulsky and her company, Little Hearts Big World CPR Instruction, was a co-sponsor of the event hosted with the American Heart Association. This event featured some wonderful events like a mini cardio class, massages, healthy food and snacks, speakers on women’s cardiac health and blood pressure checks with the rescue squad!

Thanks to our standby crews 2nd Lieutenant Adam Miksis, Dante Clausen, Nick Tripodi, Raul Cruz, and Sergeant Shreya Kachroo.
