Title
Proclamation in Recognition of Judy Huddleston for her outstanding act of heroism in an emergency situation
Body
February 24, 2011 would not be an ordinary day for Mercy Hospice Oakland Registered Nurse Judy Huddleston. Following a home visit, Judy passed by a man lying near the street where he had been walking. Judy noticed the man did not get up, so she stopped to offer assistance. The nurse inside her realized something wasn't right. As she got out of the car and approached the man, he said, "I'm a diabetic." He was already giving himself a second Glucagon stick to get his blood sugar up.
As Judy tried to assist the man to his feet, she knew he was in crises. The man asked Judy not to call 911 and attempted to stumble home. After closely monitoring his attempt to walk home, Judy convinced the man to let her call 911. Judy stayed with the man until paramedics arrived on the scene. The man thanked Judy for her kindness, and she went on to finish her day.
Whereas, Judy Huddleston is truly a hero in the eyes of her team members at Mercy Hospice Oakland; and
Whereas, Judy demonstrated professionalism and clear thinking while providing life saving assistance to a person in need.
Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Mayor and City Council of Rochester Hills hereby recognize Judy Huddleston for her outstanding act of heroism in an emergency situation.
