Fieldhouse employees, students assist in health emergency

A 51-year-old male suffered from what appears to have been a heart attack after utilizing his gym membership to play racketball at the Grand Valley State University Fieldhouse Arena.

Emergency responders were called around 7:30 a.m. on March 25. Students working at the Fieldhouse worked to provide the man with emergency medical assistance.

“Grand Valley students and employees were vital to the handling of the emergency,” said GVPD Capt. Brandon DeHaan. “We are very proud of the work done and we wish the best for the outcome of this situation.”

Emergency personnel transported the man to Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, where he is currently housed in the intensive care unit.
