USF becomes South Dakota’s first ‘cardiac ready’ campus
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – The University of Sioux Falls is now South Dakota’s first ‘cardiac-ready’ campus.
The state designation means USF has widespread CPR training, clearly marked defibrillators, and emergency plans so staff and students can act before an ambulance arrives.
Nearly half of the faculty and staff are CPR-certified, and more than 130 students are trained.
The campus also stocks naloxone to respond to possible opioid overdoses.
