Discover how health care innovation is making an impact across Western New York in the UB Medicine Podcast, recorded in downtown Buffalo.
Episode 13 – Building a Lifesaving Community
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest affects more than 350,000 Americans each year, with survival rates around 10 percent. Immediate CPR can dramatically improve those odds, yet access to training isn’t equal across all communities.
In this episode, Allison Brashear, MD, MBA, talks with Leslie J. Bisson, MD, and Karen Bisson, BSN, of UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine about expanding CPR and AED education throughout Western New York. They explore how community outreach, education, and personal experience are helping more people feel prepared to act in an emergency.
The conversation also highlights how the 2023 cardiac arrest of Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin brought renewed attention to the importance of CPR awareness and training.
