John T. Purcell
Diane is a patient advocate first and foremost. I ahve worked with Diane in the presentation and testing phases of Advanced Cardiac Life Support education. Diane has been an volunteer instructor with the METRO ACLS Program which conducts programs for 12 to 1500 students per year. Her knowledge and dedication to the subjects helps prepair students for managing and or working as team members in the performance of treatment to Cardiac Arrest or near Arrest patients. She has helped to develop in her students a calmer more poaitive approach to code management, providing the patient with all possible chances of living through and a positive recovery to this life threatning situation. It is without reservation that I recommend this dynamic, positive attitude individual as a Nurse, an Instructor, and as a friend.
