We are deeply saddened by the loss of Dick Sarns, a dear friend and longtime supporter of Packard Health. Alongside his beloved wife Norma, Dick served as an Honorary Chair and key donor to our Campaign for Expansion, and their dedication to accessible, compassionate care has left a mark on this community that will endure for generations.

A visionary engineer and entrepreneur, Dick dedicated his life to making the world a healthier, better place — giving generously of his time, resources, and heart to the causes and community he loved.

As Dick liked to say: “To be continued.” His legacy at Packard Health will be. Our deepest condolences to Norma, their family, and all who loved him.

As healthcare access in our community is changing rapidly, the need for what we do has never been greater. From launching the OPEN Warmline for same-day addiction treatment, to serving 5,000+ neighbors through our food pantries, to expanding mental health care for young Black men — Packard Health is meeting this moment head on.

Cardiac arrest can strike anytime, anywhere — at home, at work, or in your community. But right now, only about 40% of people step in to help. That means too many lives are lost, not because people don’t care, but because they aren’t prepared.

For American Heart Month, the American Heart Association is giving you the tools to take control of that moment. For adults and teens, Hands-Only CPR can double or even triple the chance of survival — and it only takes two simple steps:

Step 1: Call 911 immediately if you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse. 

Step 2: Push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of a song with 100 beats per minute (like “Staying Alive”).

You don’t need a medical degree. You don’t need a uniform. You are the first responder until help arrives.

We can’t always choose when an emergency strikes — but we can choose how ready we are to face it. Learn CPR. Join our Nation of Lifesavers and be ready to step up for a loved one, a neighbor, a friend, or a co-worker. 

Because protecting your family, your friends, and your community starts with being prepared.
