Because of the proximity to the crash scene (San Bernardino Freeway near the Mountain Ave. off ramp) the patient was taken to San Antonio Community Hospital. The ER staff there was able to administer medications to keep the young man alive long enough for his family to get to the hospital and have the opportunity to say good-bye to their loved one.
Jody, however, once relieved of her CPR efforts, immediately went to the front of the totaled ambulance and administered care to the ambulance driver until help came for him. Cpt. Mondino then took the time to call PVHMC, find Jody’s supervisor for the day, tell her what had occurred and that Jody would probably be late to work. Jodi did report to work that day.
Fire Cpt. Mondino was so impressed with Jody’s efforts to keep the ambulance employee alive even though she was had put her in danger that he submitted her name for the highest civilian award given by the Fire Department – the Civilian Citation. Capt. Mondino has never before in his 20-plus years with Ontario FD submitted any other name for a Civilian Citation! He claims that Jody is a professional to herself, her profession of nursing and to the Hospital!
Capt. Mondino and his Battalion Chief came to the Hospital campus this morning to recognize Jody Kelley in front of her peers. Jody is a true hero and we are all so proud of her!!!!
