A recent medical emergency at the Rice Lake store lead to quick-take action by staff and customers resulting in saving another customer\u2019s life. On Friday, September 1st, a Heart Saver Heroes ceremony was held at the Rice Lake store to honor our associates and the customer.<\/p>\n<p>On June 9 in Rice Lake, Wisconsin a male customer needed medical attention. Assistant Manager Matt Schultz, immediately called 911, began CPR and administered one shock with an AED.\u00a0 Paramedics arrived shortly after and took over for Matt. Thankfully, the customer is doing well and has been released.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so proud of our staff, who because of their training and dedication to the wellbeing of customers and associates, can jump-in to help someone in urgent medical need,\u201d says Jane Blain Gilbertson, Owner and President, Blain\u2019s Farm &amp; Fleet.\u00a0 \u201cThis incident along with the six before it reiterates the emphasis we place on CPR and AED training for all of our management staff and shows why it is imperative. We are very thankful everything worked out the way it did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blain\u2019s Farm &amp; Fleet partnered with the American Heart Association 25 years ago to begin the Bert Blain Memorial Heart Walk, named in memory of Jane\u2019s father and Blain\u2019s Co-Founder Bert who died of a heart attack in 1993. In that time, Blain\u2019s has worked with local companies and the community to raise over $4.5 million for the AHA, which placed the company ninth highest in the rankings for donations nationwide.\u00a0 Last year, Blain\u2019s Farm &amp; Fleet ranked third regionally just behind Wal-Mart and HSN, raising over $300,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough it saddens me to know that another individual has been impacted by a heart attack, it also makes me so proud to know that Blain\u2019s once again played an instrumental role in saving a life,\u201d says Karla Lodholz, Regional Vice President American Heart Association. \u201cOn behalf of the American Heart Association, we want to say thank you to Blain\u2019s Farm and Fleet for investing in the communities they serve and for being the only retailer to have AED\u2019s in all of their 38 locations nationwide.\u00a0 Blain\u2019s cares about people and this is just one more example of how they\u2019re giving back making their stores and the communities they serve safer for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blain\u2019s Farm &#038;
