Medford Pair Honored At Fenway Park

Melrose-Wakefield Community CPR program was recognized at Fenway Park

The Melrose-Wakefield Cardiac and Endovascular Center was recognized at Fenway Park Wednesday for the high school CPR training program.

Each year the program collaborates with Medford and other surrounding local communities to promote
heart health by teaching CPR to our high school students. This innovative program has trained more
than 7,000 students over the past seven years, and equips the students with a CPR training kit for them
to go on and train others in their families.
