Testimonials

Greg Ward, an elementary school teacher, was driving his car when he suffered sudden cardiac arrest. When his heart stopped, blood flow to his brain was impaired. Greg's son provided chest compressions to keep his blood circulating until paramedics arrived. At Rogue Valley Medical Center, Greg underwent hypothermia treatment to minimize brain injury as well as other heart-healing care. Now Greg is back at work.

I don't have to take medication, and I have gained all my strength back. I've been given a clean bill of health.
