FOSSTON, MN—Police and EMT’s are often called to the home of an elderly adult on a medical call.  And if that adult lives alone and isn’t conscious when help arrives, it can be hard for that elderly adult to get the proper treatment.  Fosston Police Chief Phil Juve has a suggestion for elderly adults who live alone.

Juve says people should consider the EMT’s point of view.

There’s another idea Juve has that can help Police or EMT’s respond to a call quickly.

Fosston Police Chief Phil Juve was a guest on Monday’s Food For Thought program on KKCQ-FM.  Food For Thought airs weekday mornings at 8:45.
