Hen Rotenberg at the vaccination center where she volunteers in Jerusalem.
Last Saturday night, United Hatzalah volunteer EMT Hen Rotenberg, a resident of Srigimââa small town south of Beit Shemesh, was about to step into the shower when her communication device alerted her to a medical emergency nearby: an 89-year-old woman had just lost consciousness in the nearby kibbutz of Netiv Ha-Lamed-Heh.
Hen had guests coming over, but of course, didnât hesitate and responded to the emergency. She had already participated in two unsuccessful CPR efforts the week before and was determined to do everything in her power to make sure that this resuscitation would have a different outcome.
