We are recognizing two NDCS members for their quick response in saving a woman from choking in the dining hall at the Nebraska Correctional Center for Women (NCCW).

Corporal (Cpl.) Edith Rodriguez was first to respond when the woman started gasping for air and began to perform the Heimlich maneuver. Cpl. Stephanie Williams took over the procedure until the woman stopped choking and was able to breathe again. Afterward, Rodriguez and Williams assessed the woman and offered additional medical care.

Thanks to both, for your dedication to NCCW and to the NDCS mission of keeping people safe. We are happy that you are a part of our team. #Heroes #KeepPeopleSafe
