Gary Reis, a Rhode Island-based entrepreneur, leads several businesses in the medical sector, including Med Tech and Access Ambulance Service. Through the latter company, Gary Reis ensures patients receive 24/7 dispatch services from communications supervisors, call takers, and dispatchers specially trained in such things as American Heart Association (AHA) CPR.
Since 1924, the AHA has been committed to fighting stroke and heart disease by supporting medical research and disseminating important heart care information to the public. One such topic the organization has discussed is hands-only CPR. This type of CPR does not include mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and is recommended for use only on adults and teens who collapse at home, in a park, or in another out-of-hospital setting.
