Announced
Innovation is taking off in Forsyth County. A groundbreaking study in partnership with Duke Health is underway in Clemmons. The study will test the use of AED drone delivery, with a goal of increasing survival rates up to 70% during cardiac emergencies. The new technology will enable dispatchers to guide bystanders through CPR before EMS arrives on site. (WFDD)

This week, I attended a Reach Women’s Network panel and learned about the mission of Goodwill of Northwest NC. Hearing the real-life stories of women whose lives have been transformed through the organization’s career services, training, and resources was truly inspiring. I highly encourage getting involved by shopping, donating goods, or volunteering.
