About

Cassie has been a medical responder since 2003 and, together with his wife Chantell, provides the community with intensive medical knowledge and years of hands-on experience in unforeseen and life-threatening situations. Always preparing for any inevitability, Cassie and Chantell have amassed additional medical knowledge and resuscitation skills that far surpass their qualifications.
