Trained For “Saving Lives”
Turrentine Brokerage is a proud supporter of the “Saving Lives” program created by Ron Rubin. If you work at a winery that is not already taking advantage of this program, please see the information below.
Trained For “Saving Lives”
In 2009, while he was training for what would have been his eighth marathon, Ron Rubin collapsed. His heart rate spiked abnormally, a sudden onset of ventricular tachycardia.
His son, Todd, dialed 911. While Ron was in the Emergency Room, medical personnel used electric shocks to bring his heartbeat back to normal. He now lives with an implanted cardiac defibrillator. That’s quite literal – Ron credits the defibrillator with having saved his life at least four times over the years.
Saving lives with free defibrillators
Ron’s personal experience – and his belief that sustainability means taking care both of our planet and the people who call it home – inspired him to create the Trained for “Saving Lives,” program – providing automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to California wineries. His vision? To make the winery experience safer for both visitors and employees.
In collaboration with the American Red Cross and ZOLL Medical Corporation, Ron Rubin Winery is covering the cost of one ZOLL AED PLUS (Automated External Defibrillator) unit, to 450 qualifying, California wineries. This sustainability and safety plan is designed to keep visitors to California’s wine country safe and saved, if necessary. Each day, California becomes more heart safe, in the possible event that CPR or an AED would be necessary. All of these 238 wineries are now Trained for “Saving Lives,” with over 1,300 newly trained staff members ready to take action, if and when necessary.
