BURLINGTON, MA — Women Who Win will host a free, community-centered emergency preparedness workshop on Sunday, August 10 from 2:00 to 4:30 PM at the Academy of Creative Arts in Burlington, MA.
Titled “Before the Ambulance Arrives – There’s You!”, the event is designed to empower individuals and families with the knowledge and confidence to respond to medical emergencies before professional help arrives. The interactive session will feature expert speakers on chest pain, injuries, bites, and basic life support—offering simple, actionable tools anyone can use.
From burns and allergic reactions to sudden cardiac symptoms and sports injuries, attendees will learn how to act decisively during the most critical moments. The event is open to the public, but registration is required due to limited seating.
The co-founders of Women Who Win noted, “Emergencies can happen anywhere, at at home, at work, social functions, or at school. Our goal is to empower communities to feel prepared in a crisis and to be able to take care of their loved ones when every second matters. We want each attendee to leave feeling slightly more prepared and empowered to make a difference in these moments.”
The event will include sessions led by Alexandra Bakovic, ATC, EdM, a Sports Medicine Professional covering how to recognize and respond to sports injuries; Samantha Pannier, Clinical Exercise Physiologist at Beth Israel Lahey Health, who will teach basic life support techniques; and Dr. Shikha Merchia, President of IMANE, presenting on quick response strategies for cuts, bites, and chest pains.
The program is supported by community sponsors including Indian Medical Association of New England (IMANE), Academy of Creative Arts, OMNISTARR, Baystate Wealth Advisors, TQM Wealth Partners, and Metro North YMCA.
