As you know, a medical emergency can happen at any time, and the actions taken in those first few minutes may mean the difference between life and death. Please take a moment and review the following suggestions to assist your fellow members and guests in the event of a medical emergency.

Please program the PPCC Golf Shop number 480.585.038 5 and the PPCC clubhouse number 480.585.6992 into your cell phone under titles that will be easy to find.

For a medical emergency on the golf course or in the clubhouse, call 911 immediately. The 911 operator will ask you a series of questions about the situation and dispatch first responders. The 911 operator will ask you to remain on the phone. Then direct one of your playing partners to call the Golf Shop, notify a staff member of the situation, and report your exact location. For example, "John Doe appears to be having a heart attack; we have called 911; help is on the way; we are by the 14th green.” If you are alone with the victim, ask the 911 operator to call Pinnacle Peak Country Club and inform the staff of the situation. Our team will immediately clear the golf staging area and provide the responders with the quickest route to the victim upon arrival. Should a situation occur when the Golf Shop is closed, please call the clubhouse, and follow the same process. Currently, the club has Automated External Defibrillators (AED), which are portable, life-saving devices designed to treat people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. The AEDs are located in the golf bag room, fitness center, the grill and lounge service station, golf course bathrooms, tennis court and golf course maintenance shop. Our managers and mid-managers have received their CPR/AED certification.

We sincerely hope to never encounter these situations, but if we do, these simple steps will help us provide the person in need with the best opportunity for a safe and healthy recovery.
