When Lou Jordan first came to the U.S. Virgin Islands to help start the V.I. Emergency Medical Service, CPR had never been performed in the territory – not even by doctors and nurses, he said. That was in 1976, and the now-ubiquitous lifesaving procedure at that time was just getting widely accepted in the States. It was just one of many changes that overtook the islands, and Sunday Jordan told his audience how proud he was of the difference made in people’s lives. Jordan was speaking at the EMS Recognition Service, held Sunday afternoon at the multi-purpose room of the D.C. Canegata Ballpark. The event marked both the celebration this week of National Emergency Medical Services Week and the 36th anniversary of the creation of the EMS in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
