Jack Tulley, representing the National Automobile Dealers Charitable Foundation, donates life-saving equipment to DWC

(Nashua, N.H.) — Daniel Webster College (DWC) hopes to train at least 75 to 100 individuals from the Greater Nashua area annually on how to respond when a person has a heart attack. That training program was greatly enhanced when the National Automobile Dealers Charitable Foundation and the New Hampshire New Car Dealers’ Association presented a Resusci-Anne training unit to DWC in formal ceremonies October 21, 2005, at the college.

In presenting the CPR unit, which is essential for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training, John E. “Jack” Tulley, National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Region I vice chairman and N.H.’s NADA’s board of directors’ representative for the state’s franchised new car dealers, said, “If the right kind of treatment can be given to a heart attack victim within seconds after he or she is stricken, the chances are good that the life can be saved.”

Added Daniel B. McLeod, president of the New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association,” CPR training teaches a person how to keep the heart beating while professional help is coming.”

Jack Tulley is president of Tulley Buick-Pontiac-GMC-BMW-Mazda-Volkswagon, Inc., in Nashua, N.H. and has been an automobile dealer and NADA member since 1986.

Tulley noted that since the massive involvement of Americans who have trained in CPR, there has been an increase in long-term survivors from ventricular fibrillation. There are many cases where the training is given to citizens showing the many heart attack victims who otherwise die have been saved and returned to their normal activities. Training takes from three to five hours of intensive practice and lecture.

In accepting the CPR training unit, Christopher M. Rousseau, NREMT-I I/C, DWC campus safety officer and adjunct faculty instructor, explained that the CPR unit gives signals telling when the trainee is applying the correct pressure in the right spot and breathing correctly into the “victim’s” mouth. With that type of training, students learn the “feel” of giving quick, lifesaving emergency treatment.

The National Automobile Dealers Charitable Foundation is part of the National Automobile Dealers Association, headquartered in McLean, Va. Its membership includes over 19,000 franchised new car and truck dealers across the nation.
